Make A Total Surprise!
Who would have "thunk"? I have to say I would have never thought about teaming up these two ingredients in a salad or vegetable side dish, but once I saw and tasted them together it was a V-8 moment LOL! (The commercial where someone drinks something and then realizes they could have had a V-8 and thumps their head in dismay) Bright, tart, sweet and savory....perfection.
