I loved it, but my family didn't. Oh, well, they have to eat it unless they do the cooking. -
Very satisfying salad! I really loved the snow peas in this, and will increase the amount in future versions of the recipe! Colorful and beautiful. Definitely a do again recipe...made for photo tag...waiting on food.com to approve photo....sorry. -
This makes an outstanding lunch! Loved the colors and flavors both! I made using honey mustarded vinaigrette which worked so well with this nice combo of raviolis, blanched and raw veggies. I did add the veggies and raviolis to the boiling all at the same time as we like our raviolis al dente, we let this chill for the full six hours which tasted like the perfect marinate time. This is so yummy and healthy that it will be a staple in our home. Thanks for the post.
