Reviews
I prepared this salad recently and we enjoyed it. I chopped the cucumbers instead of slicing them. We thought the dressing just a dab bland so next time I might jazz it up a little. Just our taste. We will have this salad again.
Very yummy, but it makes much more dressing than 2 people need for one salad. I also just wire-whisked the dressing together in a bowl; didn't want to clean the blender for so little substance.
I love this salad, in fact I often crave it. It's sweet and crunchy and the dressing is delicious. It's also easy to make.
this is a great tasting salad the dressing is wonderful.
