What a great salad! The lemongrass, ginger and chili really make this pop with flavor. I only left the sugar out (personal preference).

This is a fab recipe! I love the dressing beautiful flavours. You are right, I almost finished the whole lot by myself! I couldn't get hold of lemongrass so had to leave it out, used lemon instead of lime and used half an onion instead of the whole. Absolutely delicious! Thanks, JustJanS, for sharing this fab recipe, definitely will be making it over and over again!

Thanks for a great recipe! Simple and delicious! I will definitely be making it again with maybe just a quick squeeze of lime this time. :D

Fabulous recipe...great mix of flavours with the lemon grass and mint. Definatly will be making it over and over. I added in some grated carrots and a diced sweet yellow pepper.
