I love this salad. Made to go with buffet for the family. I always make it the day before I need it and serve at room temperature. A great ‘make ahead’ recipe.

Really interesting flavours with the sweet sour mix.Had it with lovely French bread to mop up the juices, will try it next time with cous-cous. My Veggie daughter said it was a 'make again' recipe - always a good sign! -

I loved this but hubby hated it. He's not a veg lover. I divided up the leftovers and will give half to a vegetarian friend who I know will enjoy it. The rest will be for me to snack on with biscuits and cheese.
