THIS WAS SO GOOD. I was thrilled with the results. This dish came from an old recipe book that I came across. I followed the recipe exactly as it was written, and will be doing so again and again. I have a dozen ideas for the dressing that is on this salad, and I can't wait to try them as well.

    I didn't add the oranges until 1/2 hr before I served it because I had to wait for them to be delivered. When I served the salad the oranges where fresh and crisp, a few hrs later I went back for more and the orange while still a nice flavor they where mushy and not as tasty as the earlier salad. So if you are gonna make this more then an hr ahead of time you may want to wait until 1/2 hr before serving to add the oranges
