EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Mandarins are oranges with loose, easy-to-remove peels. Tangerines, clementines and satsumas are varieties of mandarins.

To give this salad a tropical flavor, use coarsely chopped macadamia nuts instead of cashews.

Hallow out large, sweet bell peppers and use them as bowls for this salad.
