I had a hard time with this recipe - I used more than double one cup of yogurt, and thus doubled the cardamom. BIG MISTAKE. A little cardamom goes a really long way. Of course, it's not Rita's fault that we added too much cardamom, but I've never actually thrown away RecipeZaar food before. If in doubt, start with way less cardamom, and add until you're satisfied.

I made this with some seasonal fruit (it's winter here at the moment)I loved the tang of the lime cardamon yoghurt, didn't use the honey as I din't think it needed it. Made for ZWT III.

I LOVE fruit! This salad was yummy. I think we would have to get accustomed to the cardamom, though. Hubby and daughter didn't care for it. I liked it, but will use less cardamom next time. I did fresh grind my cardamom seeds, so that could be the reason the flavor was so strong. Still, it was a very good!
