We all love salads in my family and throughout summer our main diet consists of salad with some sort of added protein as almost the afterthought! If I am feeling particularly like I need to fill them up, I may add an amazing bread to the menu!
The following recipe is a winner with my family and has become a firm favourite...I think it originated from Singapore...but anyway, thanks to my sister in law we have been eating this one for years and I suspect it will become a firm favourite in your house too, once you try it. And yes, there I go again with fruit included in a salad. If you were dead against fresh grapes, (though why would you be?) or if they were not in season, by all means, go with craisins. Yum!
