Loved this salad. The dressing is nice and light and blends well with the fresh ingredients. I reduced the recipe to serve 1 and used a sectioned navel orange in place of the mandarin oranges.

We love the combination of fruit and salad greens, and we're just crazy about this salad. It's the perfect thing for when you want something a little different, and it is truly delicious. We sometimes have mixed field greens with mandarin oranges and top it with a bottled balsamic vinaigrette, but this dressing is 20 times better!

Really cool crisp salad with a lovely dressing. I was looking for something cool to contrast with some hot ribs, this worked perfect! Love the crispness of the ramaine and the almonds and the sweetness of the mandarin oranges; offset very nicely by the vinegar and pepper. We will be making this again thanks for sharing!

I made this for a dinner party of forty and it went over well. The only changes I made was that I used toasted sesame seeds instead of the almonds and I also added thinly sliced red onions. I made it like a buffet and everyone put the salad togther themselves. That way everyone could put as much or little of each ingredient they wanted. It was very refreshing. The main course was Fettuchini Alfredo and we needed a light tasting salad and this was it. UPDATE: I made this salad for my family tonight. I didn't have any orange juice so I used the juice from the can of mandarin oranges. I LOVED it! I liked the flavor of the mandarin juice over the orange. Try it! I just love this salad. It's so easy to make and tastes like a salad you'd order at a fancy resturant. YUM!
