Ms. Ann's Mandarin Orange Salad

I obtained this receipe from my friend Ms. Ann, from Forest Mississippi. I had breakfast with Ms. Ann before attending the Neshoba County Fair in nearby, Philidelphia, MS. Ms. Ann prepared a lavish spread for our breakfast, with included the Mandarin Orange Salad. This salad is a very versitel dish. It's one of those dishes that can be eaten anytime of day. It can be a salad or a dessert. Even for breakfast. It's light and airy, but packs the right about of punch and sweetness with the taste of the oranges.
