A lovely, unique salad! This makes a perfect alternative to the usual salads. I made this just as written. I feel that it could have used a little something extra..... like maybe some fresh cilantro/parsley and maybe even some crumbled goat cheese stirred in while it's warm. I will add those things next time. Thanx!
