Fantastic, simple Asian salad! To cut down on fat, I halved the amount of sesame oil and it was still wonderful. I love the versatility of this salad. You could leave it simple and use as a side salad and/ or add more veggies or cooked chicken/shrimp and call it a meal. Thanx for sharing this salad recipe!

*Absolutely delicious* This was the perfect Asian salad to serve with Grilled Asian Flank Steak. Made as written with a couple of adjustments, I reduced the sugar to 3 Tbls. and only 2 Tbls. sesame oil for the dressing mixture. I added 1/2 lb blanched snow peas and 1/4 sliced red pepper. Thanks for posting this fabulous recipe. *Made for Seasoned Sailor and his Sassy Sirens ZWT 6*
