SO HOW'D IT GO?
this salad is simply awesome. Thanks Keda. Only, instead of boiling, i microwaved on high for 2 minutes.
I love this recipe! This time I left out the sugar, added some olive oil, sesame seeds, some Mrs. Dash, and some raisins. I never have sliced almonds and our whole ones are raw - I think it's perfect! It's pretty to look at and wonderful to eat.
This recipe was so flavorful, my mouth actually started watering after I took my first bite! Just like many others I also steamed my veggies, the overall turnout was fantastic!
So simple and delicious makes a great vegetable side!
i just made this, it was fantastic! the only differences in the salad i just whipped up is that i put cauliflower in the mix as well, i used balsamic vinegar, i steamed the veggies, and i didn't use salt or pepper. it was still delicious, though. :D
Keda, this salad is delicious. The only difference was that I steamed the broccoli & carrots instead of boiling them to keep the colours more vibrant.
