this salad is so delish! i made it on fourth of july pretty much following the directions fully. it was such a hit, that i got asked to make it months later for another party. I used red wine vinegar, sweet onions, and kalamata onions. i added grated carrots. and next time i think i might use roasted red peppers instead of the red pepper and increase the green one for crunch. i love all the fresh flavours that the herbs give it. fresh are the best.

These are absolutely the best ever. I have only ever made these the "italian" way with red sauce, so i have never made the sweet and sour sauce. but the meatballs are just so delicious. Since getting this in my all recipe email, i must have made them at least half a dozen times. i add all the normal italian spices, use seasoned bread crumbs, whatever nuts i have on hand (they all work fine it seems) and seasoned bread crumbs. i omit the salt because the breadcrumbs are so salty as it is. so great!!!

This recipe was so good!! I made it almost exactly as stated, but followed the reviews and added more red pepper flakes and less butter. everyone said to add a tsp of the pepper flakes, so i decided to add 2 heaping teaspoons as i like really spicy things. it burned my lips, but was still so delicious that i must have drank five glasses of water with my serving. everyone agreed too much spice, but loved it. next time i will tone it down a bit.
