    This dressing has a nice tartness in combination with the sweet of the marmalade. I skipped the diced lime because I didn't feel we needed it. It is a nice light dressing that compliments the salad ingredients nicely.

    Loved the dressing. I changed some of the salad ingredients. I added mandarin oranges, used vine ripened tomatoes, added toasted sugar coated sliced almonds and left out the olives. A very refreshing salad. Thank you.

    I enjoyed this salad alot. The dressing is sweet, light, and a bit tart. It really compliments the avacado & salad well. I served the lime in wedges on the side, but would skip them next time. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
