Of all the recipes I've tried here, this is one of my favorites. I didn't have any green onions, so I minced a shallot and it worked quite well. It's only been two days since I made this salad, but DH has already asked me to make it again this week. Thanks for this fantastic recipe!!

5 stars all the way! I cut this recipe down for 2 servings. I used walnuts in place of the pecans and onions in place of the scallions. Very good. Thanks for posting!

Served this with ellie2's Quick and Easy Chicken Tacos (#99534). What a fabulous combination that turned out to be. I used pecans rather than walnuts, baby spinach for the greens & Ken's Steak House Italian Dressing. The toasty nuts, juicy mandarin orange slices, rich avocado & delicate onion-y taste of the scallions proved a perfect blend. Thanks for a winner of a recipe, NurseDi!
