Nice salad. I used some leftover steak that I had grilled which made this super simple. The raisins really were a 'special touch'. Thanks Jostlori for a nice lunch. Made for ZWT8 - Family Picks. -
Made as directed and just loved it! This is really a hearty salad. I soaked the raisins for about 3 hours and all the Jameson Irish whiskey soaked into them! I was kind of looking forward to drinking the remaining whiskey! lol! Thanks, Jostlori, for a new weekend summer favorite. Made for ZWT8, Great Britain region, team Diners, Winers, and Chives.
