I cut this recipe in half since there were only 3 of us & we all much enjoyed this great combo, especially the peanuts & carrots ~ GREAT TASTING SALAD! I was tempted to throw in some raisins but didn't (at least not this time around)! Thanks for a nice recipe keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current Pick A Chef]
