This is delicious! It has just the right blend of spice and sweet.

I would definitely make this again, but I used a medium sized onion and would probably cut back even a little more. The amount of onion called for seemed to take away from the oranges.

Very fresh salad that kind of sparkles with flavor. I served it with pork loin but I'm sure it would be good with chicken too.
