Wow, can’t believe how many steps! It seems easy but…. I dunno if I can do it.
I felt the same way! But once you break it down, it’s not that bad. Just take one step at a time. You got this!
Total yum! But why do you need so much olive oil? Seems like too much to me.
I think the olive oil is for the dressing! It adds flavor and richness. Plus, it’s good for you! 😄
Honestly, I don’t see the need for so much oil either. Can’t you just use less? It seems oily!
It was okay but I felt like it was missing something. Maybe some croutons? Not sure I’ll make it again.
Didn’t have feta, used cheddar instead. Still tasted great! Just needs some cheese!
Cheddar is great! I might try that next time. Thanks for the tip!
Delicious! I added some walnuts because I didn’t have almonds. Still turned out great!
I’m not a fan of cilantro, so I left it out. The salad still was colorful and yummy!
Delicious! Next time I will add avocado for extra creaminess. Super easy to make!
This salad is amazing! The mandarin oranges add such a fresh touch. My family loved it! 😍
I dunno. The flavors didn’t really go together for me. Kinda bland. I’ll stick to my stuff.
I totally get it! Not every recipe is for everyone. I found it pretty tasty, but maybe try adding some spices next time?
This salad is amazing! The sweetness from the mandarin oranges contrasts so well with the feta. I’m definitely making this again!
I don’t like chicken in my salad! I just did greens and oranges, it was fine. But not for everyone!
I totally get it! Salads can be just as tasty without chicken. Your combo sounds refreshing! 🌱
But chicken adds protein! How can a salad be filling with just greens and oranges? I need my meat.
So easy to make. I threw everything in a bowl and it tasted like heaven. 10 outta 10!
So easy to make! I added some avocado and it was divine! Definitely my new go-to salad! 👍
What’s red wine vinegar? Can I use apple cider? I need an answer!!!
Red wine vinegar is a tangy vinegar that’s made from red wine. You can use apple cider vinegar, but it’ll change the flavor a bit. Just make sure to adjust other ingredients if you do!
This salad is amazing! The sweetness of the oranges goes really well with the salty feta. Definitely making this again!
Meh, not impressed. I thought this would be tastier. Liked the peanuts better than almonds.
I get what you mean! But the dressing makes a big difference. Did you try that part? Maybe it’ll change your mind. 😅
I don’t like feta so I skipped that part, and it was still really good! But can you use regular cheese instead?
Why not just try it without cheese? Sounds healthier, might taste good too. 😂
Yeah, regular cheese would probably work! But I think feta gives it a nice tang. Try it with mozzarella or something like that if you can’t stand feta.
This is a fancy salad, but me and my kids just want somethin’ simpler. 🙄
I totally get that! Sometimes simple is the best. Maybe just grilled chicken on a plate with some greens and a drizzle of olive oil would do it! 🥗
Fancy? This ain’t fancy! Just leave out the oranges and feta, it ain’t rocket science! 🌍
Yum! Fresh & healthy! 🥗
Why do you put fruit in salad? I prefer my salads green only. This one looks too weird for me.
Where do I even get mandarin oranges? My grocery store never has them.😒
I followed the recipe exactly, but my chicken ended up dry. Maybe I grilled too long? Not sure if I’d recommend.
I thought grilled chicken would be dry but it wasn’t! Very juicy. Will keep this recipe in my rotation.
