EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

* To toast almonds, cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.

Make a day ahead; cover and refrigerate. Stir the salad before serving. If needed, add a tablespoon or two of milk to make it more creamy.

The salad was good, but a little bland. The addition of a few herbs would make it better.

I made this yesterday and it was so good. My husband thought it would be a good meal to make in morning and have for dinner on those too hot to cook days. Couldn't find the yogart it called for but used a greek honey yogart that our local market carries.
