I love this combination! I just wish I hadn't halved the recipe (made it for 2 because I could eat heaps of it. Perfect complement to my panko oven-fried chicken. Yum, Ellie!

This combination seemed odd to me at first but I really love the fresh mint with the citrus and the bite of onion

I did not like the addition of salt to this salad. I'm not sure what happened, but even with 1/4 tsp. salt, it was like all I tasted in the salad was salt. I'm wondering whether or not I should have tossed the salad a little better to make sure the salt was evenly incorporated.
I also think that 2 tbsp. oil is a little unnecessary. I used 1 tbsp. of olive oil when I made this and it was just the right amount.
I couldn't get any GOOD navel oranges from my local grocery store, so I used a can of drained mandarin oranges, and I really liked the little bit of extra sweetness. However, I didn't use a normal can of mandarins in heavy syrup - I bought a can of the no sugar added type.
Final note - this is definitely a salad for adults. I would not serve this to children because of the combination of flavors.
