COLORFUL CITRUS SPANISH SALAD

I had a dish similar to this in a restaurant when visiting my family in Tampa. I have tried to recreate the recipe through taste and recipes I have found in my cookbooks. It is a very pretty salad and has a unique taste. Do not let the dressing ingredients throw you, it is yummy!
