Roast chicken with risoni and herb salad...adulterated from Gourmet Traveller
A most delicious salad ! Give me preserved lemon and pasta and I’m in love. A fabulous friend of mine who is a great cook first introduced me to a variation on this salad.
You can make it with Dill but I prefer it with parsley. And with a big glass of wine.
A perfect dinner to end summer and daylight savings this weekend…
