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.
