See moret combination is much greater than the sum of its parts. try it, i bet you'll like it too!"

"Very nice salad to serve with spicy curry dishes. I followed the recipe exactly, but instead of adding dressing right before serving, next time I will add and let chill for a few hours in refrigerato..." See morer. I found the salad nicer the next day after the dressing had time to marinate the carrots. Next time I will also try to add some raisins."
