  1. this was really good! i added baby spinach leaves jsut for texture but i'll bet its just as good without it. it was really easy to throw together and the flavors blended nicely. i think next time i will add young peas. thanks di!
     
  2. This recipe was terrific! I love Asian food, and this salad was interesting and full of zing. It was colorful, delicious, and the tastes blended together perfectly. I'd definitely make it again.
     
  3. I LOVED this recipe!! I only made a few minor changes. I do not like hot, so I omitted the chili oil. I used 1 Tbsp. of sesame oil, and 2 Tbsp. of peanut oil (instead of 3 Tbsp. of peanut oil) because I LOVE the taste of sesame oil. Also, I served this over a bed of romaine lettuce and sprinkled with chow mein noodles. Absolutely to die for!!! Thanks for posting, Di!
     
  4. Great salad.
     
  5. I took a cue from Manda and used sesame oil in this. I also used lower-sodium soy sauce in place of the tamari and dry roasted unsalted peanuts in place of the cashews. Didn't matter, it was still fabulous! I'll probably try he dressing on other dishes as well, such as using it as a stir-fry sauce.
