This is a great meal salad. I love the sweet fruit with the spicy gingery dressing. I feel so healthy too! Thanks for sharing this with us :) -
Very nice salad and so pretty too. The dressing is perfect with the salad and the steak is wonderful after being tossed in the soy sauce mixture. I did use nectarines in place of the mango and parsley for the cilantro. The only thing I would do next time is use a little less mint and maybe omit the peanuts. Thank you Engrossed! -
Excellent! And so pretty! This dish looks absolutely gorgeous when plated and the flavor lives up to the appearance. My only change, based on the ingredients on hand, was to substitute arugula for the watercress, which seemed to work very well. -
This is really awesome. The combination is great together. It is one of those recipes that looks as good as it tastes, you don't mind serving to company and when there isn't company makes you just feel good. We're seriously considering trying the steak on a sandwich with the greens, fruit and some of the dressing sometime. Thanks for posting.

I love to cook and share good food with other people. I have a very large collection of cookbooks. I used to enjoy being able to look up recipes on Zaar by ingredients I had on hand. I miss the Zaar tag game community. Everyone was so nice, and it was super fun. Ah, the good ol' days.
