Another terrific recipe - and so summer-y...Thumbs up!
WInnie, this sounds like a great make-ahead summer dish. Perfect for hot weather.
Definitely weather-appropriate. I've been eating it all day ;)
Oh, baby. This is up my alley. By the way, I just ate about a ton of your broccoli salad with raisins and hazelnuts. I'm going to try it with toasted almonds, too.
