Claim Jumper serves a "California Citrus Salad" that is a real favorite of mine. Here is my re-creation of this favorite. It has chopped lettuce, bleu cheese crumbles(I use gorgonzola), chopped nuts (I've used pecans, almonds or hazlenuts. I think the hazelnuts are my favorite), mandarin oranges, golden raisins, chopped apple and avocado. The dressing I use is pictured below. I think it tastes just like the real deal. Love it!
**Note: I took this to a luncheon the other day. It did not start on time and the salad got a bit soggy. My avocado was a bit soft and since I'd tossed it at home, then it sat on a counter for a while waiting for the lunch to start, I didn't taste nearly as good as is always does at home. So my suggestion is; serve immediately and add avocado after salad is tossed with the dressing.

That sauce sounds right up Spencer's alley! I wonder if I'd be able to find it somewhere out here.
That does sound good! Is the dressing sweet or sour?
hmmmm...a little of both, I'd say. And with all the great flavors going on in the salad it doesn't take much dressing.
