We loved this salad served at room temperature. I did cut back on the sugar, as it seemed too much - we used less than a teaspoon and it was perfect! I must admit I had my doubts about the lemon drizzle, but it wouldn't have been the same without it. Delicious! Thanks for posting. Made for CQ4 play, Team Happy Campers.
