Tip

Salad Shake-Up

When making a salad for dinner, I tear the lettuce and chop the vegetables, then put them all in a clean plastic bag and shake. This mixes the ingredients better and easier than tossing in a bowl. —Therese G., Scottsdale, Arizona

This salad has a great combination of flavors. When I made it I only had red onion and i added a tablespoon of orange juice to the dressing.
