I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add some grilled chicken or shrimp to make it a more substantial meal.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this salad was to make. I had it ready in under 30 minutes, and it turned out beautifully. The only change I made was to use fresh orange juice instead of bottled, and it was absolutely delicious. Highly recomme
