I thought the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste, but otherwise this salad was very good. I'll try making it again with a different dressing.

This salad is a keeper! The dressing is light and flavorful, and the combination of red leaf lettuce, mandarin oranges, and walnuts is a winner. I've already made it twice and will definitely be making it again.

Not a fan of mandarin oranges, so I used grapefruit instead. Turned out great!

Easy to make and delicious! I used a store-bought dressing to save time, but the flavors were still amazing. Will definitely make this again.
