We liked the flavors in this salad. The veggies were crisp & the sesame flavored dressing was a nice touch. Next time I plan to add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to add a tiny spark of heat. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

This was great with the mushrooms and no sugar in the dressing. Will make again! Very refreshing.
