Very good. This was easy to put together and quite good. I doubled the dressing. I wasn't sure what "chili" was, so used sriracha which did give it a nice little kick. I love the flavor that fish sauce and lime gives to this salad. Thank you for posting, Susieq, this is a nice recipe.

The dressing is to die for! I made a version of this salad to feed myself and two hungry men. The dressing got a massive thumbs up. I doubled the dressing recipe which was enough to cover 3 large salads on separate plates. I used whatever salad gear that I had in the fridge plus some sirloin steak. The dressing makes it though and this recipe has got it right!

I had some left over roast beef which I sliced very thinly. I made up the dressing, sprinkled it over the sliced beef and warmed it in the microwave. Served it over a salad of shredded lettuce, finely sliced carrot and cucumber, diced celery and red capsicum - also drizzled with the dressing. The dressing was delicious but, being ultra-picky, just a tad too strong for our taste. I cut it back a bit by adding a few tablespoons of oil. I didn't have fresh coriander or mint, but used a heaped teaspoon each of the 'herb in a tube' variety. Next time, I think I'd cut the fish sauce back a little and maybe only use 1 tsp of the regular soy. But, all in all, a great dressing which I will definitely use over and over again! Thanks!

This is very yummy :) I should have taken Jans recommendation and made it ages ago. I also added mint, extra coriander and crunchy noodles along with some roasted peanuts to the salad mix. A definite keeper. Thanks for posting.

Really, really delicious, I added ginger, chilli & fish sauce to the marinade, add then scraped this off before searing the beef. I then just added a bit more soy, fish sauce, the lime juice & some sugar to it for the dressing. I didn't have sweet chilli sauce but don't think it needed it. In the salad I used tomato, avocado, iceberg & rocket leaves, lots of corriander leaf, spring onion & some finely slide raw fennel which complimented it really really well. I was going to have a red vegatable & coconut curry with noodles to follow, but was so stuffed & satisfied I didn't bother!!!
