  1. Yummy and fresh-tasting. A great complement to some salmon we were having for dinner. Great textures and flavours happening in every forkful. A keeper - thanks.
     
  2. This is so yummy. We loved how fresh it is. Great dish for a hot day. I omitted the mint only because I didn't have any. Delicious. This is a keeper. Thanks for posting. :)
     
  3. So good! Subbed crab for shrimp. Next time I think I'll try a more dainty pasta, like an angel hair, to absorb more sauce. Thanks!
     
  4. This was a fresh tasting summer salad, chock full of nice veggies. We enjoyed this for lunch today. Thanks! Made for ZWT6.
     
  5. Oh, tasty and refreshing! We really enjoyed this salad. This has all the asian flavors I adore. I added some lime zest to the dressing to boost the lime flavor.
