Tip
Herbs, nuts and green vegetables can all be substituted for others of similar nature. I have also added sundried tomatos at the end with feta. Olive oil can be used instead of the macadamia nut oil. Great cold as a salad for lunch the next day!

Yum, very nice. I didnt use chicken, so the first 20 minutes was enough. I put the veges into the steamer when it had 10 minutes to go. We had chicken kebabs with it. Probably be nice to try with cous cous too.
Delicious, easy and healthy - we will definitely be making this again! Thanks for the recipe.
I have been using this recipe forever! I never get tired of it - use up whatever I have. One of my favourites. I've thanked you for posting before but feel I need to say thanks again!
Wow! 5 out of 6 in our family ate it on the first try!
As we can't have nuts, changed them for pepitas.
Will make this one again.
Loved this dish. My dressing wasn't very runny might have used too many nuts but didn't make a difference, still tasted great. The Feta was a really good touch. Definitely going to be a regular.
Very tasty, will definitely cook this again, I prepared this the night before my dinner party, it was a hit with my dinner guests, thank you
This was really yummy! I think I used too many nuts in the dressing as it came out pretty solid but used some natural yoghurt to make it a more dressing like consistency and it was delicious. I also served with a little more yoghurt and some mango chutney. Will definately make this again, thanks for sharing
Love this recipe. I used the veggies that I had (broccoli, cauliflower, carrot, red cap & spinach). Thank you for posting.
