    I what universe do you live in Melissa d'Arabian that this recipe takes 20 minutes??? It was a lot of work for a salad. It was tasty but SO NOT worth the work!...will not be making it again.

    This salad was amazing! the only thing I would do different is to use only the green part of the green onions, as the white part was a little too strong for our taste.

    Very good salad! I love Melissa's show and book. I think the dressing was too much for 1 bag of lettuce it was over dressed. I used spring mix. Everyone loved it. I used canned oranges drained and regular orange juice since I was out of the fruit. Would be good with feta on it too.
