Delicious main dish salad that's perfect for warm, summer days. I've made this twice - once with the blueberries and oranges, and once with blueberries and strawberries in place of the oranges. Both were delicious and I've found that I have to double the recipe because my family enjoys it so much! Thanks for the great recipe!

This was a hit with my husband and 3 kids. A definite keeper! The only change I made was making my own blueberry sauce from hand-picked blueberries instead of using blueberry preserves. YUMMY!

My husband and I both loved this salad! His comment was "I could eat this once a week!".

This is the best salad I have ever made. I might switch the canned mandarin for fresh necatrines but other than it is fantastic!
