MOROCCAN ORANGE-WALNUT SALAD (ZWT II)



Moroccan Orange-Walnut Salad (Zwt II) image

Another recipe I stumbled across & fell in love with on a search for something else. My recipe source is "The New Enchanted Broccoli Forest" by Mollie Katzen. Recipes w/10 min prep times always get my attention (esp ones w/flavor combos like this one!) & the serving method sounded like so much fun to do w/your family or at a dinner party w/friends. :-)
