I just tried it and it became one of my favorite salads. I would have never imagined that such a complex and multi-layered tasting dressing can made with straight forward ingredients all available in my kitchen. I highly recommend it.
Thank you Heba 🙂 So happy you liked it 🙂 🙂
Had people over and tried this recipe last night and it was delicious. I added almonds instead of cashew nuts and i also added sesame seeds. It was all finished. A must try
