House Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I entertain a large group of family and friends every Sunday and if I don't serve this salad, everyone asks "how come you... didn't serve the Orange Walnut Salad?" I always buy extra greens and double the dressing to use during the week. It keeps fine in the fridge. I use shallots as well for a milder version of the dressing. For the garlic lovers out there, you can mince a clove or two in the dressing or in a pinch, garlic powder. I often use dried onion in the dressing which gives it a nice taste as well. This recipe is a hit every time.Read more

Nutricious & tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I amended the dressing somewhat by using olive oil instead of vegetable oil & red wine vinegar instead of vinegar. Also,... added about 1/4 cup Cabernet Sauvignon wine to the dressing. I also used shallots instead of onion. A slightly milder taste but very similiar to regular onion. The greens were what I had on hand; baby spinach & an arugula mixed greens with fresh herbs. A keeper for sure!!!Read more
