Yummy!!! VERY light and refreshing...will DEFINTELY make again...omitted the salt...used a few chopped walnuts...didn't need the additional salt...in a pinch how about a can of madarin oranges drained...
excellent salad! Just omit the salt from the dressing for a salt free dressing. I will be making this for St. Paddy's day!
My kind of salad! Yummy!
A very yummy salad. I prefer pecans over pistachios and skip the feta, as my family eats dairy-free. I usually eat this salad without the dressing, but I made it when I want to dress it up for guests. You can also serve it with Balsamic Vinaigrette if you don't have time to make the dressing.
I would not make it at all because of the amount of sodium in it.
