STUNNING! I picked this as I KNEW I would love it, as it has all my favourite ingredients in ONE salad! I only subbed one thing, I used sliced chorizo sausage in place of Kolbasa. Garnished the finished salad with a sprig of fresh oregano for the final flourish and tucked in to eat this with pita breads and other cold cuts on the side. Made for the Magic of Herbs in the Photo's Forum and the Recipe Swap in the Aus/NZ forum, #41. LOVE your recipes ma leettle BK darlink! We must be long lost sisters! :rofl: Merci encore, FT:-)
