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]

I only came to cooking in my 50s, when we moved home to a tiny town with only a few restaurants. I'm always on the hunt for easy, flavorful recipes (often ethnic cuisines), and I'm always ready to try something new and different! In cold weather I gravitate to stews, soups, and casseroles of the not-too-heavy kind; in hot weather I love a salad or cold soup. Partly because of my husband's diabetes (I'm borderline) and partly out of indolence, baking is not my thing.
