Orange peanut salad

A hint of the tropics with a dash of Thai influence... Hubby saw this and thought it sounded a lot like the strange sort of concoction a kid makes when they're home alone from school. You be the judge.

I have to smile at the editorial text in italics next to the recipe that reads:

"You will probably never again use vinegar in dressings once you try the 'witching drop of lemon juice.' Practically all famous chefs have discarded vinegar because lemon juice gives a more exquisite flavor. Learn for yourself what these chefs have proved."

But the recipe calls for "French dressing" and lemon juice isn't listed at all. I have to chuckle.

This recipe is one of a set of gorgeously illustrated vintage Sunkist recipes I found in Grammy's recipe box preserved in nearly pristine condition. Feel free to download the image so you can print it out and use it in your kitchen.
