  1. This is a tasy and healthy salad. I used broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper, red cabbage, and green onion. All the bright colours make this salad look great too. This will be great for summer barbeques.
     
  2. This is what I call a keeper! I loved the raw vegetable combined with the tangy, sweet flavor of the dressing. Put this dish on your table anytime and wait for the raves. The sauce could actually be used on shredded cabbage for cole slaw too. This was wonderful. THank you for sharing.

I have been a Central Illinois resident all my life. My hobbies include fishing with my husband, reading, counted cross stitch, and of course, cooking (especially baking)! I currently work in an office, behind a desk, pushing paper. My dream would be to open my own bakery. Spending time in the kitchen is very relaxing to me, and it keeps me connected to my domestic side!
