Submitted by duonyte

"From Cooking Light. A satisfying main-course salad. I put less of the dressing on the salad than the recipe called for, preferring to serve the remainder on the side."

Delicious salad - we loved the combination of the edamame, chicken and napa cabbage. Next time, I will take the other reviewer's suggestions of adding some soy sauce and sesame oil (vs. olive oil) as the dressing really needed a bit more flavor. Overall, though, we really enjoyed this salad. Thanks for the post! Made for the 1-2-3 tag, January, 2012.

Loved this dressing in a salad of napa, romaine and brussel sprouts. Served with Recipe #63831to go with the wasabi theme.

Made this for our dinner last night...mighty tasty on a warm evening. I did add a little sesame oil and just a splash of soy sauce to the dressing and also a little more wasabi (we love spice) and it was delicious. On the salad (since this was DH meal) I used red thinly sliced onions (didn't have green), a few grated carrots, sliced cucumbers and some blanched pea pods sliced and topped the salad with toasted sesame seeds along with the other ingredients (to fill DH up). Definately a keeper and will be going into my favorites. Oh yes, I did cut the salad in half for just the two of us. I made this for New Kids on the Block and Bounce the Ball for Summer Fun tag games. Thank you for submitting the recipe!
