Like others, I would curious about orange blossom water. This article from Martha Stewart provides useful information: https://www.marthastewart.com/7988237/orange-blossom-water-cooking-baking-ingredient

Substitute for orange blossom water (have not yet tried): Orange Zest is a direct derivative of the fruit's peel and rich in essential oils. It imparts a potent citrus flavor, appropriate for baked goods and desserts. To replace orange blossom water, use a teaspoon of finely grated zest for every tablespoon of orange blossom water.

This was a surprise delight - fresh and not too sweet.

Followed recipe. This was more of a cold soup than salad.

Orange blossom water has a unique taste and I've never found an adequate substitute. The best one I've ever had was French, but harder to find. Worth the pantry space.
Becky
Unless someone knows of a brand of Orange Blossom water that I haven't encountered, I would say it won't bring much to this dish. I have tried several brands, even to drink, and I was not impressed.

How critical is the OB water? I don't need yet another jar in my pantry.
Juliet
Would it be very wrong to use store bought orange juice? And maybe just add one cut up orange in the salad? Oranges are so expensive!
