I was inspired to make this delicious salad after viewing the recipe by CaliforniaJan at FOOD, which happens to be another recipe website. With that being said, I had tweaked the recipe to suit my taste. Plus, I'll substitute dried roasted peanuts for salted peanuts, but I think you could also use cashews or sliced almonds. I also used mandarin oranges that come in those individual 4-ounce plastic sealed bowls.
