EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Look for matchstick-cut carrots already cut and packaged in the produce section of the supermarket.

Omit the chicken for a meatless salad.

The flavors in this are really good. I love this and think I will be making this more often. This is not hard to make and I think if you make it for other people they will love it as well. Nothing is over powering and seems rather healthy.
