    Not something I would normally try, but I have a overload of lemons so searched lemon recipes. Glad I took a punt because it's delicious! Will be a perfect refreshing summer salad too.

    Even after all the comments I still didn't imagine how delicious this would be. A BIG hit with my family. I don't eat meat so used some of the marinade to marinate my fish & the rest of the family had chicken (700g). I used mixed spinach & rocket, then shredded 3 kale leaves, carrot, cucumber, red caps. The dressing was so tasty & it made a big platter of salad. Added quinoa cooked in a little stock too. Will def be making this over & over. Thanks for the great recipe & sorry for the detail..its just for me to remember what I added.

    Made this for tonight's dinner and it was a huge success. Bulked it up with some cous cous. Didn't have any fish sauce so substituted soy sauce and forgot the turmeric, but still delicious. Will definitely be making this again.
