We are addicted to this salad! It goes very well with sushi or as a meal itself with grilled chicken on top. This is one of my most requested recipes.

Erinn, this is just fabulous!!!!! I made a double-batch of the dressing and marinated some chicken tenders in it overnight, then grilled them and added them --what a wonderful light meal!!! I wanted it a little lighter, so I added just 1 ounce of oil to the dressing. It's so flavorful, I never missed the fat. Thank you so much for sharing what is sure to be a regular meal in our family.

Great salad! I had to add 2 more tablespoons of sugar and some honey to sweeten the dressing up, but it was good. A nice change from the usual. Thanks!

I made this for dinner. I had to adjust the dressing ingredients quite a bit until I had the flavour I required. Not sure why. Once that was good I also marinated some salmon steaks in the dressing. Grilled the salmon and served alongside the salad. It was delicious.
