Tam bir yaz salatası olmuş, ferahlatıcı ve besleyici. Fakat, biraz daha az tuzlu yapabilirim bir dahakine.

Çam fıstığı yerine ceviz kullansam olur mu? Elimde sadece o var da.

Kırmızı biberlerin verdiği tat harika! Biraz daha limon suyu ekleyerek damak tadıma uydurdum.

Şeker miktarı biraz fazlaydı, ben bir sonraki sefer şeker yerine bal kullanacağım.

Taze nane ekleyince daha da ferah oldu, öneririm. 😊

Biraz daha baharat eklesem mi diye düşündüm ama bu haliyle de oldukça lezzetli.
