This is my family's go to salad. My mom and brother prefer mandarin oranges, I prefer fresh ones, either way it's good. I agree with the other reviewer, raspberry dressing is amazing with this. -
Simple and tasty! To switch it up try mango slices and raspberry dressing, instead of oranges and French. :) -
Nice refreshing ingredients in this super salad paired with a tangy French Dressing is a classic. I used Recipe #27152 for the dressing. I really loved the combinations. Thanks for sharing your recipe. -
Quick and easy but full of flavor. I added walnuts and dried cranberries. My husband now prefers this home made version over the California Salad at O'Charlies. -
This Salad is seriously tasty and even my boyfriend, who hates vegetables, loved it! I added Feta Cheese for some added flavor and with the chilli vinaigrette recipe, also found on this site, and some chunky bread, one of the best dinners i've had in a long time! Thanks!

I love this salad, but instead of french I use a poppy seed dressing and add sharp cheddar or a hard boiled egg for a little something extra
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
