I made this to take to a friend’s cottage for dinner. The combination of flavours was delicious. Although the presentation with all ingredients separated was beautiful, it was awkward and messy to serve from the platter. Next time I will keep the ingredients in their separate bowls and let everyone “build” their own plates. I, definitely, will be making this again, however.
Hi Martie, Thank you so much for the review and for trying my recipe! I’m happy to hear you liked it. I love your idea of letting everyone build their own plates – thank you for sharing!
