HFG tip

This dressing works well with a leafy green salad (eg. spinach) with cucumber and prawns. It’s also great for coating a salad with salad greens and crunchy salad veges such as radishes, carrots and celery.
Store dressing in a sealed container in the fridge for 2 days.
Whisk up dressing before serving, taste and adjust seasonings.
