This was good, but I didn't get the wow that I was so hoping for. I was surprised that there was enough sauce to cover all the ingredients. It didn't seem that there would be when I prepared it. I made as posted but did omit the peanuts because we don't care for them. Thanks for posting. -
this has a nice combination of flavors, I doubled the complete recipe but but only used 1 tablespoon of the coriander for a double recipe, also I used seasoned salt and lots fresh ground black pepper, thanks for sharing Mandy!...Kitten:) -
Wow - this is a wonderful salad. Nice mix of crunch, savory & sweetness. I love cilantro (coriander) and have plenty in my garden. Thanks for the post. ZWT 2007
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Melbourne I live on a 5 acre property in the Dandenong Ranges Victoria, Australia, having moved from the burbs when I became pregnant with my now 15 year old daughter Alyssa.
Once my daughter was born I became a stay at home mum as I couldn't bear the thought of putting her in daycare. She is the light of my life, I never imagined myself as a mum when younger but now wouldn't have it any other way. Alyssa was made a big sister on the 19th April 2010 when our cheeky little boy Blake was born. I love cooking and experimenting with new recipes so quickly become addicted to Zaar as it was previously known & still use it regularly. In addition to being my kids taxi :lol: I also spend my time, reading, gardening and of course shopping. I'm lucky enough that we have the space & so love growing our own fruits, vegies & herbs, this also means we have plenty of room for animals & at the moment have 2 dogs, Max, a Jackshund who's 6, Fletcher, a Kelpie who's 4, 6 cats Snowpea, Fergus, Ginger, Tango, Annie & Cookie, 4 chooks & 2 Ducks.
As well as our pets, we also have a lot of native animals around our area, we have kangaroos, wombats, echidna's, possums as well as rosella's, galah's & Cockatoo's hence the name of where I live..
