Absolutely delicious. Worthy of serving non-Nutritarians who would be none the wiser. This will be my "company" salad!

This is a hit it out of the park salad! It is easy to make and tastes really good. It also holds up well to take as a lunch the next day.

Absolutely delicious! Definitely company-worthy. The Asian-inspired flavor is now going to add welcome change to my menu on a regular basis. After eating this it occurred to me that I would never go back to bottled dressings!!

Made this for the first time about a year ago. It is amazingly good...like eating sunshine, if you could-light, refreshing and so flavorful! It is my favorite.

Outstanding dressing/salad. This was the first Dr. Fuhrman recipe I made after watching Dr. Fuhrman on PBS: Three Steps to Incredible Health ...back in 2012 I believe. I've made hundreds of recipes since and still going strong with this amazing gift of never ending recipes provided through Dr. Fuhrman's website ... recipes that at are BOTH healthy and great tasting. Thank you a hundred times over ...

Instead of juicing an orange, I just peel a seedless one (or a tangelo) and put the whole thing in the blender. I LOVE this salad!

It doesn't call for juicing an orange it calls for the whole orange to go into the dressing.

One of the best salads I've ever had! I only had half the nuts it called for (cashews) and it was still outstanding.
