I do love a salad that is actually a meal and this is one of those salads. The dressing should really be it’s own recipe. It is that good. I suggest you make extra and use it up the next day. This recipe appears in the Merry Christmix franchise, never ask me which one cos I just cannot keep up, but go get it here at an all time low price.

Don’t be afraid of the the fruit...you’ll be amazed how good it is.
