Not liking pecans, they were omitted. I also had some shrimp handy, used them as well as raspberry vineagrette instead of Catalina. Excellent taste, refreshing, and very quick to make.

Used a vinigrette dressing instead.

This is a great alternative to a traditional garden salad. The flavors blended well. With a little less Catalina dressing it is even better.

It was a weird combination. No one in my family liked it. I won't be making this again.

I think the dressing could be different. Maybe a little bit of oriental dressing would do the trick.

Simple and delicious! The Katalina dressing was a little bit too sweet for me, so I cut down on the amount and it worked out perfectly. The orange and avocado slices are a surprisingly good combination for the salad too.

The nuts and oranges compliment each other very well. A great change of pace to serving a boring tossed salad. And this went well with the filet mignon recipe it was paired with in the Food and Family magazine.
