My hubby is the opposite. He loves anything sweet. When I eliminated sugar and reduced agave to almost nothing I am surprised he didn't rebel completely. Thankfully he is behaving himself (at least from what I know). ;)<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-77104023995461024742010-02-25T10:27:34.063-05:002010-02-25T10:27:34.063-05:00I am the opposite of you when it comes to sweet, I...I am the opposite of you when it comes to sweet, I think it's why I love fruits so much:) I never crave cookies or cakes, or any of that junk, but I love the sweetness of fruits. and I think I am addicted to clementines!!janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674219866233495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-62979413148964223842010-02-25T10:08:56.413-05:002010-02-25T10:08:56.413-05:00Janet,

But I am not a huge fan of sweet so that may be why.<br /><br />I will check your salad out now. Thanks for the heads up.<br /><br />AliciaVegan Epicureanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203676819322299569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-20370331404685552552010-02-25T10:02:08.712-05:002010-02-25T10:02:08.712-05:00We eat a similar salad often, never thought to add...We eat a similar salad often, never thought to add dates, what a great idea! We don't usually add a dressing to this one, the clementines are so juicy it really isn't needed for us. We are on the same wavelength this week, I just posted a salad with clementines too:)janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09674219866233495307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-82012436129805544982010-02-25T09:24:32.640-05:002010-02-25T09:24:32.640-05:00Brandi,

It is so flippin good, I usually eat it all summer long!!!<br />Here is my dressing:<br />1/3 cup rice vinegar <br />2 tablespoons Asian (toasted) sesame oil <br />1-1 1/2 tablespoons agave or cane sugar<br />1 tablespoon soy sauce <br />1/4 teaspoon grated ginger, or 1/2 tsp. dry ginger <br />1/2 teaspoon dry mustard <br /><br />I make my own wontons, and then bake strips in the oven....<br />Super simple<br />The dressing might not be totally accurate, I eyeball everthing and I am guessing.... :)crunchyveganwifelifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06486855455879424793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790414766945352054.post-21591077518817459352010-02-24T21:56:42.445-05:002010-02-24T21:56:42.445-05:00Heather,
