I think the secret is the fine ribbons, not to thick and like you said, freshness is key! I would actually try this salad! Thanks again for plugging me, I'm hoping that by the time I finish this comment, my service will still be up! I'll get around to all eventually!

Go check mine out when you get a chance.<br /><br />I think a little break for the holidays is a good idea. I know a lot of us will be cooking and sharing, but taking the competition out of it might be a good idea. Maybe the winner of this one can pick a great battle to start 2012 off right.<br /><br />GGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
