First off I want to thank Ashasarala a thousand times for giving me the recipe for this salad as I am not yet an owner of this apparently amazing cookbook.

It probably tastes even more amazing than it did last night because I had neither red wine vinegar, grape seed oil, nor fresh cilantro. So I used a tsp. olive oil, bianco and balsamic vinegar and about 2 Tbsp. chopped parsley (didn’t have any more).
It still tasted awesome!

My parents were still at work so I placed the bowl on the dinner table and when they came home later my mom called „I see there’s something on the table. Can we have that?“ I was like „Sure, it’s all yours. I already had a big bowl!“
Five minutes later I got a text message from my mom saying nothing but „M m m m h“! Ha ha, she’s so awesome! When I saw her again she apologized that there weren’t any leftovers. She and my dad really enjoyed this. To quote my mother „Not only did it taste fantastic, it looked so pretty and colorful! A joy for the eyes and the tastebuds!“

Yup, I will definitely start making more „real“ dishes(less baking as my jeans are getting tight and I can not afford new pants at the moment).
Not only do I get to try various dishes I have always wanted to try, my parents are also open people who will definitely try new things and be honest about how they like it and a big plus – my parents will get to eat healthier!
So I guess I know who I’m going to ask for Vcon
