  • I thought this was really good. I had one family member not like it because it had almonds and one family member like it because it had almonds. You can’t please everyone. I loved the simple dressing and the combo with the cucumber, radishes, and parsley. I really would like a bigger crunch next time so I am going to add a little bit of celery.

  • The almonds in this are a really nice textural surprise. My parsley was looking wilty so I used some fresh cilantro and a little fresh mint instead. Changed the flavor profile altogether but was really tasty. Dressing is so simple and delicious that you could use it on just about any green salad.

  • Good combinations of things that came ripe in my garden at the same time (Cucumbers, radishes, and parsley), but too much dressing for the amount of vegetables, which is easy enough to fix.

  • I made this for a brunch. My guests love it! I sprinkled in about a tablespoon of raw sugar and some dashes of Sriracha sauce after the salad was assembled. Gave the dish the pop I was after. Everyone raved. Word of caution: it does not keep at all - make it just prior to serving.
