  1. Tish, this was a great salad. Actually, I served it as a side dish, but everyone loved it, including me, and I dont like cooked carrots. It was easy to put together and store in the refrigerator until dinner. I let it set at room temperature for about an hour before serving. They colors were vivid, and just beautiful. Thanks for posting. I will make this again....... going into my T&T book.
     
  2. Tish, this salad is outstanding!! Only thing I changed was to cut back on the ginger a wee-bit (personal taste), and added some ground black pepper to the dressing. Next time, I will be sure to double this!! Thank you! ~Manda UPDATE: Since I have found this recipe, I have made it a zillion times, trying new combos of veggies and they were all wonderful (cauliflower, onion, green/red pepper, etc.) I just made this yesterday, and mixed in some cooked and cooled brown rice, and it was awesome!! Also, if there is leftover marinade in the bottom of the bowl, don't toss it!! It makes a wonderful salad dressing for drizzling over fresh greens. Oh, I just LOOVE this stuff!! Thank you again, Tish:) ~Manda
     
  3. Served with special sunday dinner with pork tenderloin, it was a big hit!! wonderful way to serve carrots especially! Great to make ahead and refrigerate, less to do at dinner time. The blend of flavours was outstanding!I did let it come to room temperature before serving and we will certainly make these again, thanks for sharing.
     
  4. Tish, this is a wonderful side dish/ salad. The flavors were not over powering, yet tantalizingly addictive. To appease my Hubby, who prefers most of his veges more raw than cooked, I undercooked them a bit. They were still perfect. I think I will do as suggested and play with some other veges as well. I can see me having this on hand at all times. It's great cold, right out of the fridge for those "I need something NOW" moments. Anyway, thanks a bunch!
     
  5. A nice vegetable duo that was nicely seasoned with this particular marinade, especially when using fresh garlic & ginger! Will definitely be happy to make this again! [Made & reviewed in Healthy Choices ABC tag]

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
