About

This salad has a unique taste and is very refreshing. I loved the crunchy texture and overall freshness and flavour. The salad was easy to make and was very colourful and attractive to serve. My choice of squash was butternut, and I used a garlic / flax oil dressing which was light with a bit of a bite.
