This salad has a very nice, light taste with just the right blend of ingredients which create a delightfully Asian flavor. So very easy to prepare using Stepanie's directions. Thank you, Stephanie!

I made this recipe over the summer at a baby shower I was helping prepare food for. Finally found this and hoped it was the same. Yes Yes Yes. This recipe got so many compliments and I took all the undue credit!!! I added a tsp more sugar and a dash of red pepper flakes for fun. Great buffet salad. Very tasty. Thanks Kiki Lissa Sheehy

This is a very tasty cold salad. I made it for Easter and everyone enjoyed it as a nice alternative to lettuce. I made it the night before and marinated in a zip-lock bag. I simply drained and put in a serving dish the next day.
