It was the colourful photos that initially attracted me to this salad. Not this one. This one is mine. The first time I made it I was really disappointed in the outcome, but then I stopped to think what was it I didn’t like. Well it was overly sweet and soggy. So I cut out the sugar and reduced the dressing components also I didn’t add them until serving. It turned out great. But what do you do when you find a recipe so wanting... Do you still reference it? And then there are the broken links from referencing when a recipe just disappears...
