Something else. I added pine nuts as another user suggested she would do next time she cooked this. I also added lime juice to the dressing...yummm - 04 May 2010
Loved this one... had to add water to sauce to make it 'drizzle'.. and I threw in a handful of fresh mint leaves from the garden.. Oh, and as plums are out of season here, I added a pear which was delicious. It was a hit at work where I made it for my work colleagues! - 03 Sep 2012
