Incredible!!! My husband and I loved it. The colors and flavors were perfect. I followed the recipe without changes. I left half a steak on my plate so that I could have another helping. Thank you. -
I liked the combination of spinach, melon, strawberries and macadamia nuts. It did look stunning too with all these different colours. The dressing, however, was far too sweet for me. I suggest a dressing with lots of olive oil, some vinegar, some mustard, no honey and just a teaspoon of jam. And lots of freshly ground pepper. Some basil or mint leaves might also be nice. Please note that this is my personal opinion (and it might have something to do with me being Swiss) and I don't want to stop anybody from trying NurseDi's mother signature dish with its signature dressing.
