Just finished a lovely lunch of this salad. Wanted to use my Camembert cheese and imported crackers a friend brought to me. This salad allowed them to be enjoyed without overpowering their taste. Made only one change...had the walnut oil but no walnuts, so I used pecans instead. Along with a icy glass of sun tea, lunch was a delight. I raise my glass to you, Inge, for another yummy meal!

Hi,
I am German and I live with my husband Thorsten (Chef Thorsten)in the former German capital Bonn, a rather small town near Cologne at the river Rhine.
I work in a teashop (a TeaGschwendner franchise shop, see my web site link) situated in a quaint little old house in the center of Bonn and like it a lot. I enjoy to make myself comfortable with a cup of tea and a book (an old cookbook is good).
