*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #58* I guess I didn't read much past the ingredients, 'cause at 4:40 when I was preparing to blanch the veggies, had no idea this was a cold dish !! I decided to mush on and added the rest of the veggies to the broccoli and cauliflower (which I steamed for about 4 minutes) as soon as I took them off the stove. Added the dressing immediately and let the flavors fuse while I warmed up some turkey. It was a very tasty dish-- and I will serve again ! Will also save the recipe for a warm weather dish. Thanks for posting, Sharon.1Reply
