Hi Suzanne Rose,
My wife Sue agrees with this salad but has a slight menu change for the way She would make it.
Substitute sugar for HONEY. {Ligurian bee Kangaroo Island} if you can get this honey.
1/2 cup extra virgin OLIVE OIL, mixed with 1 tablespoon of CORIANDER freshly chopped fine,
and with 2 PINCHES of ALLSPICE powder plus 1/4 cup APPLE CIDER VINEGAR.
Mushrooms sautéed with 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic over LOW HEAT for 3 to 4 minutes.
Then fridge for 5 minutes.
2 duck breasts shredded.
All else stays as is unless you want to add more ingredients.
This is one YUMMY SALAD!!! 👩‍🍳
