  1. I wanted this to be the salad a friend brought to a picnic last year and it wasn't quite right. Good but probably won't make again. Thanks for posting!
     
  2. I've been making this salad for years tho with a few changes. I add lots more ginger to the dressing and replace some of the oil with sesame oil; also use cilantro instead of parsley. Very quick and easy to make and can easily be doubled, tripled, etc. I've taken this to numerous potlucks and am always asked for the recipe.

I love cookbooks and have tons and TONS... right now I am trying to collect most of the Gooseberry Patch ones and have to have dh keep a list in his wallet so we dont buy duplicates. I love ones with pictures and love, love TOH ones. I have got my famous tilapia with jasmine rice published in TOH and have a few published in some GBP. I will find any excuse to buy a cookbook lol. I like practical cookbooks, nothing strange or difficult. Simple ordinary everyday family recipes.</p> <p><br /><br /><img src=http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8283/mybannerglitter0bf587ff.gif border=0 alt=Create your own banner at mybannermaker.com! /></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><img src=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v51/tiggrr34/Graphics/HolidayOrnamentSwapTag2011-4.jpg alt= width=200 height=266 /></p>
