    Disappointed. Altho my kids and i like the ingredients individually....this combined reciepe, not good. Didnt use the orange juice, would that have made it hugely tastier, doubt it. Wont make again as couldnt eat it!

    Lovely recipe! Replaced cucumber for griddled courgette as my husband can't eat cucumber. Kids loved it too, a definite hit.
