With scallops, pears and citrus fruits, this deliciously different salad is an outstanding first course. It also makes a great luncheon salad.—Sarah Geary, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Tip

Keeping Lettuce Fresh

To store lettuce to keep it crisp and fresh, wash lettuce in cold water and drain very well. Use a “salad spinner” or pat it dry with paper towels. Store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container with a dry paper towel in the bottom to absorb any leftover moisture. (Be certain to replace the towel if it gets wet.) For extra-crispy salads, you may want to use a lettuce variety like romaine that’s naturally more crisp.

YUMM - I made my own balsamic vinaigrette from a Food Network recipe. Rather stronger than Kraft is, so could have done with less, but still really good. My 19 year old daughter raved and advised me that I have to add this recipe to her "leaving home cookbook".

So good! Would be great with chicken or shrimp - or no meat at all!

i believe that you buy it in the produce isle, next to the salad mixes and refrigerated dressing

Citrus salad is just what it says, orange, grapefruit, and mandarin orange segments in a light syrup
