Delicious. Tangy, fresh, very satisfying. Great way to offset the fat and sugar of the holidays.
Somehow this dressing was just too subtle for the stronger apple and bleu cheese. I needed to doctor it up with some honey and white wine vinegar.
Good combination for salad but dressing could have been more flavorful.
I served this salad with Easter dinner and it was a big hit. I used miniature blood oranges in place of the mandarins. The dressing was particularly good and the combination of flavors was really nice. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
The dressing was edible. Too many different flavors that did not complement each other.
The salad is very good, but the dressing needs something more to suit our tastes. Will definitely try again, but will maybe add some fresh herbs, rice vinegar and toss a few of those yummy oranges into the salad. Thanks so much for sharing!
Wonderful and beautiful salad. The dressing wasn’t strong enough for my family so we added 2 Tbsp of white wine vinegar. Everyone loved the salad!
Awesome summer salad! I couldn’t believe how delicious and easy it was. I didn’t use the oranges (just orange juice for the dressing) and it still tasted amazing. The garlic was the perfect finishing touch.
I’ve made this many times. I love it. I use feta cheese instead of blue cheese. Very enjoyable.
Dressing-puréed can of oranges in blender with other ingredients. Way too much dressing.
Love this salad! I made the dressing with the juice from a can of mandarin oranges. So easy and delicious!
super delicious
We really love this salad in my house and it has become a go to recipe. The first time I made it I followed the recipe with only two minor alteration(canned mandarin orange juice rather than fresh, and Havarti rather than blue cheese). Since then I have made some other changes depending on what I have at hand, such as throwing in some sunflower seeds, mango juice instead of mandarin, a variety of cheeses. Every time it has been great!
Delicious and easy everything I had on hand!
Excellent. Will make again. This dressing is so good I get asked for the recipe.
Lots of kudos for the great salad and dressing. Used a small can of mandarin oranges, too, and just mushed them in my pampered chef dressing bottle for a double recipe. I wish I used more than double the blue cheese. Left the skin on the apples but cubed it small. Lemon zest from 1 large lemon was plenty for my double recipe. I prefer the half spring mix-half spinach for the greens.
Very tasty salad and salad dressing. All the components played well together. I used butter lettuce, nearly double what the recipe called for and substituted goat cheese for blue as that is what I had on hand. Fresh tangerines make this recipe. I used bottled orange juice in one prior attempt and it was lack luster. Squeeze the tangerines. You’ll be glad you did. Definitely a keeper.
Best salad I’ve tried from here. Everyone loved it.. i will def make this many times
Very nice & tasty – a great way to get fruit and veggies at once. Walnuts & blue cheese always go well together. Of course I varied things a bit – it’s not tangerine season so I squeezed a big orange. Might have got too much orange juice that way, because I felt it could have used a little more oil. The red onions here are too hot just now, so I used a lovely sweet white one. Still yummy.
Really pretty good.
My family & I love LOVE this salad!! I made it differently than the recipe shows because I was missing some of the ingredients. I chopped 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, 1 red apple (with skin left on for color), 1 avocado, 1/2 c. walnuts, 1 20-ounce can of pineapple tidbits drained (juice reserved) and mixed together for salad. For the dressing I used the reserved pineapple juice, 2 Tbsp oil, 1 tsp. lemon juice, 1 Tbsp. sugar, 1/8 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp garlic powder and mixed all together for the dressing. I served the dressing on the side of the salad (thinking I might have had excess), good thing because I had about 1/2 cup leftover. I plan to make this salad many times again, next time I’ll make it according to recipe, then next time I’ll use dried cranberries & canned mandarin oranges & baby spinach.
