Orange Cucumber Tossed Salad image

This is from the 'Taste of Homes - Light and Tasty' magazine. It looks so inviting, I'm going to be making it this week anyhow! It was submitted in the magazine by Betty Tobias. This is one FANTASTIC SALAD, IMHO, that not only looks so nutritious and healthy, and is, for that matter, but also, is one that I'm sure anyone would enjoy.
