My daughter made this for me when she invited me over for dinner. It was totally delicious! I had to get the recipe so that no I can make it.
Is rich in flavors
As soon as I looked at the ingredient list I told her this isn’t a good idea, but she insisted to try it and it was awful. This salad is disgusting, me and my girlfriend made it in the spur of the moment and as soon as we took the first bite, we regretted it.
Is it possible you are just not a fan of sweet and savory?
Perhaps you substituted ingredients and are basing your comment off of that. If you follow the recipe as written, this salad is delicious!
Disgusting?
Rather rude of you.
Love this mix! Refreshing, oh so pretty, and a change in salads. Thank you.
