Nice one, though I added some walnuts and salted peanuts and also some raisins as well to this.

This is so good. I just made it for dinner, and I don't think there will be any left. I halved the recipe as we are having another couple of salads, and I love dried fruit dry, so I didn't soak the craisins. Next time I make a curry, I am going to serve this as a change from my normal side dishes.

I really liked this salad a lot...it's almost like a dessert! I used only one tb. of honey, and I think it might have been too sweet if I'd used more. I used the full amount of ginger, and I added extra lemon juice. Thanks for sharing this; I know I'll be making it again.
