We loved the flavor of this recipe even though I made a goof while preparing. The colors are so pretty and would be nice on a holiday buffet or potluck. I also enjoyed the sweet/ tart / savory contrasts in the salad. We couldn't stop eating this and I will definitely be trying it again. I was interested in the cooked dressing of the recipe & followed the directions carefully. It was VERY thick. Thick like paste, instead of a creamy or pourable consistency I was expecting. I proceeded and the result was almost moldable after adding to the vegetables, but the salad was crunchy and tasted great. Just thicker than expected. Now that I am writing the review I notice I left out the water. (oops) I will add it next time & may even reduce the cornstarch a bit. Thank you for sharing your recipe! Made for Fall 08 Pick A Chef.

I am a fifth grade teacher completely dedicated to my job. I spend most of my time correcting papers, working on lesson plans, and bettering myself as an educator. I love to share my joy of cooking and baking with my class through the use of recipe integration with math. I also bring a lot of treats to my kids. :)
I am also a newly-wed just finding my feet as a cook for more than one. My husband and I love to fish and hunt, and also to eat what we catch. We always have a freezer full of venison, elk, and various fish. I replace most of the beef in recipes with ground venison.
Many of my cooking skills come from my mother, who managed an upscale restaurant for a number of years. She also learned from her grandmothers, who were well know n for being fantastic chefs. My favorite recipe book is her collection in an accordion file that she has gathered since childhood.
As you can tell, I LOVE Spongebob. It is the best way to wind down from a long day- you don't have to think! :) I am an avid reader, and must always have a book with me. As a teacher, most books I read are fifth grade level, although I do get to enjoy an adult book every now and then. My husband is an avid Chicago Cubs and Green Bay Packer fan, so we watch a lot of sports. I love to be outside gardening, camping, taking walks, or just playing. We LOVE to grill, and my favorite is brats boiled in beer!!
