  1. So Good and very quick to put together. I did a quick blanch like a dip in hot water and took right out into an ice bath. Just to brighten the color. I did have to whisk the dressing ingredients which I cut by 1/3`d and skipped the sugar. The tart sweet dried cherries filled in for the sugar. I did use fresh ginger root that I minced real thin and fresh garlic that I grated right into the dressing. Thank you so much for our good eats!
     
  2. Yes! I loved this! I used regular peanut butter, and light soy sauce....I used some apple cider vinegar and had a nice taste to it. I had cranberries that I used as well, and this turned out to be a lovely surprise, and great taste-sensation. Thanks for posting such a lovely salad! Made for ZWT 7
     
  3. I was curious to try this recipe. I loved the taste with the peanut butter and soy sauce. But it's a bit too vinaigry for my taste. Next time I'll use less white wine vinegar. I used dried cranberries which is great with it. Thanks JanuaryBride :) Made for the Count Dracula and His Hot Bites for ZWT7
     
  4. This is really good! I used sugar instead of splenda, and sweetened dried cranberries. The dressing is just a tad too thick, but I think that's because I used 'natural' peanut butter, which is much thicker than the regular kind. The peanutty flavor is delicious, I would never have thought to combine it with broccoli, but this works very well. The cranberries add just a touch of sweet/tart in each bite as well as a nice textural contrast. This would be a great potluck dish! Made for ZWT7, Emerald City Shakers
     
  5. This turned out so yummy! My peanut butter loving kids gobbled it up! I didn't add any dried fruit to it this time, because it tasted so fantastic as is I was a little nervous to add it. We will be having this again! Thanks! Made for Aussie/Kiwi swap April 2011.
