Love this salad, which I got from a great friend, Amanda, 13 years ago when we were living in Auckland New Zealand. Amanda is a special friend who we have done life with and who has been an integral part of my journey. Can be served warm or at room temperature. I come back to this recipe time and time again and every time I make it I think of Amanda.
