We had this for dinner lastnight and it was a big hit. It was very easy to make. I adapted it alittle by adding diced apples, dried cranberries and I squeezed an orange over it before chilling. We used this as a topping over a mixed blend salad. It was wonderful!!

Lovely refreshing salad!! We loved it and I will make it again throughout the summer. I would do one thing differently next time, instead of adding the almonds with the rest to chill I will add them just before serving so they will add more crunch. Loved the touch of red pepper flakes. Thanks for posting!!

My most used and favorite cookbook is the 1946 edition of Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School handed down to me from my Mother. My most favorite kitchen utensils are a set of Johnson & Wales knives given to me by my mother, a professional chef. I enjoy traveling to exotic places, trying new foods and bringing home rare ingredients to expirement with. I work fulltime as a lab technician for a local diagnostic center. In addition to that, during my free time I'm either at the gym, listening to music, tending to my herb garden and/or trying out new recipes & ideas in the kitchen. I am a classically trained singer and musician, passionate about music. My favourite thing to do is sit outside in my garden with my husband, a glass of wine, good food, music & a few good friends. <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt= /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting />
