I like the addition of the peanuts in the salad, Aruna 🙂
Oh yum. I could easily do this with cashews or almonds. It looks so good.
I LOVE LOVE having nuts on my salads! It give crunchy texture to salads and makes the salad more delicious. Ahh! This is so mouth-watering! Thank you for bringing this to FF. Have a wonderful weekend! <3
