Yes, I confess right now. This is not a quick salad to put together, it does requires some time and love to prepare the ingredients. However, it is too good not to share with you guys.

Crunchy spicy Fern Tips Salad

Chef Penny suggest that you make the Bumbu Bali ahead, and freeze them in your ice trays, and just remove 1 block if you are making this salad for 2 persons. So find some time over the weekend, you would not regret making this sexy salad, every bit as delicious as it sounds.
