Chock full of fruit, toasted nuts, and a homemade dressing that's both light and satisfying, Abingdon Manor's Apple & Orange Salad with Honey-Garlic Dressing can be served as a meal in itself (think lunch or a light dinner) or as a colorful accompaniment to grilled chicken, fish or pork.
Although it's hard to imagine how a recipe of so few ingredients could produce a salad so pleasing, rest assured the honey-garlic dressing sends this salad soaring to new heights. Delightful in its own right, this easy-to-prepare dressing allows the sweet and tangy flavors of citrus and apple to shine!
