我这很多次,因为我第一次发现it here. We love it. Seems like I'm always forgetting one thing. Tonight it was fresh ginger, which makes it so wonderful. I sprinkled ground ginger into the dressing and then diced several pieces of candied ginger. I let the dressing meld, since I was in no hurry for a change. I also increased everything by one-third and used an 8 oz. bag of spinach, 2 small navel oranges, and 2 small avocados. Don't forget to salt and pepper the dressing, since the spinach needs it. It is one of our favorite salads. Try it!

This is a tasty light salad for spring or summer. The ratio of spinach to the other ingredients is too high and it's missing a crunch. I suggest increasing the amount of orange and avocado, and adding sliced almonds for texture and crunch.

GREAT salad. Made for a dinner party and guests loved it so much I needed to quickly mix up more with the remaining ingredients I had so everyone could have seconds. Highly recommend it.

Dressing and ingredients just didn't work well together. Dressing is anything but dull.

The snappiness from the ginger really makes this a delicious dressing. Used canned mandarins which worked very well and way easier to prep, as ninashaft suggested. Try it! So good.

Forgot to say, I used canned mandarin orange slices - so much easier than cutting away the pith from a navel orange, and they have such a delicate flavor that does not overpower the avocado.

A big hit at dinner! Served it with grilled prawns and poached salmon, asparagus and rice. Everyone wanted to know what was in the dressing :)

Really amazing! Like some previous reviewers I added some toasted almonds a a tsp or so of honey, and couldn't believe how such a small amount of dressing was going to work. But guests raved about it. Kept to just one avocado but used 2 oranges. Fabulous.

This was a surprise! I was concerned at the amount of vinegar (didn't have rice, used white wine vinegar)- it was very tart. Added more oil- used olive oil. Toasted some slivered almonds. Put it together and WOW! It was incredible how the sweet oranges tempered the vinegrette. All of my family loved it ++ Used more sesame oil as well. This is a keeper! Served it with a modified Thanksgiving dinner- roast pork, stuffing, brussel sprouts. instead of Turkey.Yummm....

I made this with clementine slices instead of orange, since I thought that might be a more "Asian" flavor (and would work better in a salad). That said, one caveat I cannot emphasize enough: do NOT make this ahead of time (I clearly don't have enough experience using spinach in salad). The entire thing was a wilted mess by the time I served it (hour later, maybe), and I added more fresh spinach to lift it a little. The second thing is: I made 2.5 times the recipe, but for the dressing I added significantly more sesame oil than it called for (when I was tasting for "salt and pepper"); otherwise, every drop ended with too tart a bite (I just kept pouring in sesame oil about a tbsp at a time and kept tasting). Overall, not great texture (unless eaten right after making), good flavor, but b/c I added more sesame oil than it stated.

Light, simple, delicious. I thought 6oz of spinach was a bit much for just one avocado and one orange, so I cut up two of each. The dressing was superb. High quality sesame oil really makes this dish.
