Directions:

Irma says: For the dressing I have substituted a homemade raspberry vinaigrette which used the following ingredients to taste:
Wine vinegar simmered with 1/8 cup of chopped raspberries picked last summer and frozen, a bit of honey and a very finely diced garlic clove. I was more generous with the coriander than called for in the original recipe. I used olive oil instead of the oils indicated.
Have used store bought raspberry vinaigrette and added some lime juice or cider vinegar to increase tartness.
