The family REALLY loved this! They're not big salad eaters, especially as a main dish, but they approved of this one. The peanut sauce/dressing is excellent. I'll probably use that in other dishes also. I highly recommend this recipe!

Nice way to use a tortilla. I'll be doing that again. Sounds cheaper and healthier than ramen, though I haven't done the math.. I made my own dressing and veg substitutions.

A nice meal to make during the summer. Very good.
