Super delicious with bright, sparky flavours. Loved the pickled ginger in this - as if I needed another excuse to buy yet another jar!!! Thanks.

WOW!! This is the best thing I've tried in a long time! Who would have thought to put pickled ginger in a salad?! But it's brilliant! Goes perfectly with the cabbage and radish. I did leave the radicchio out (personal preference) but this is SUCH a pretty and yummy salad. Thanks!!!
