The textures in this salad are amazing - from the crunch of the nuts to the dried fruits. I added peaches and kiwis in this recipe and they were great. The dressing is what really sets this recipe apart. I loved the rice vinegar and the orange juice combo. The variety of the greens and fruits will be a fresh addition to your table.
