    i just mada and ate this salad and it was so great!!! Instead of spinach I used lettuce but I don't think it has any matter. The case is the dressing! It was incredible to have in your mouth the sweetness of the honey combined with the fresh taste of the orange. Thank you, Giada!

    Another winner from Giada! I got caught with only one orange, but i just cut back on the oil also...after washing and drying the spinach, i put everything in the fridge for an hour or so then added a little shaved Asiago and I tell ya, this one would make a bulldog romance his chain! Great job Giada!

    Was in absolute SHOCK reading any negative reviews regarding this salad or dressing in general. I'm a huge Giada fan and always use her recipes, never had anything even remotely bad from her. I used this salad dressing over arugula, beets, goat cheese, and orange segments, for a change from the spinach. The dressing was incredible!! Had several friends over recently for a dinner party, two people begged me for recipe of dressing! This is a total winner, no matter what lettuce/vegetable you use. I used just one large orange for zest and juice, and used only 1/2 cup of olive oil (instead of 3/4 C to cut back on fat slightly. So good!!!

    Great basic spinach salad - we added thinly sliced red onion & toasted pine nuts & walnuts. Husband loved the prosciutto!

    My daughter Kaleigh who is 7 made this salad with dinner tonight. It was absolutely wonderful. She did however add some mozzarella to it because she loves mozzarella.

    I make this all the time and get SO many compliments! I've found that a bit of crumbled gorgonzola tossed in with the salad is a perfect addition.

    This dressing is so wonderful! I used local oranges and local honey, which gave it an even fresher taste.

    I adore Giada's recipes but found this dressing a little bland..I added the zest and juice of a third orange and a touch of red wine vinegar to it..and a little red pepper flakes and basil..(mint would be even better but didn't have any. That made it better.. but still seemed to be lacking something...
