Yesterday I prepared the recipe, but something I do not get it. First cook amaranth and I'm not sure how to get it. My blind and quite difficult it mingled with other products. I kept the proportions of the recipe exactly, only lemon was a little less than 1/2. H., But the salad and so get quite acidic. I add cucumbers and tomatoes, maybe chicken to take away the taste of lemon.

I wrapped it with lettuce leaves and thin slices of smoked turkey and it was delicious!

On the occasion of my first comment to the recipe, I want to share two things. First, I read a little about amaranth and found it really easy sticky unless left slightly underdone. Second, for the second time I bought lemons from the same place and I think that they are very very acidic - significantly more acidic than usual. I do not know whether I make the recipe again, but I want to say that when you do not get prepared well for the ingredients, not because the recipe.
