Spending a ton of time in the kitchen is not my idea of a good thing. With back-to-school season in full swing, who has the time and energy to spend on high-maintenance meals?

This recipe gave me alot of ideas. I changed some things in it. I added mandarin oranges to it as I love them in a salad. Also, instead of pine nuts I used walnuts. It came out soooooooo good and it’s healthy too. Thank you.
