We really liked this salad Jewelies...the only change I'll make next time is using a smaller onion (or double the peas). I used a good sized onion. Thanks for posting!!

This was excellent - with a great contrast in flavours and textures, and a really good sweet/sour/savoury dressing. Can't get snow pea sprouts so I used sprouted lentils - not the same - but good. The mint is a great addition.

OMG....YUM!! This is a devine salad, so refreshing!! Don't change a thing...although the first time I made it I forgot the olive oil but it was still fab. I served mine for a light and refreshing lunch (for 2) , now cant wait to serve it at our next BBQ along with some lamb loin chops....MMmmmmm
