Very good and spicy salad which we enjoyed with lamb chops! I was out of ginger so I skipped it and I was also out of hot chili peppers so used crushed red pepper flakes - using the same amount as listed - it was too hot for me but my dh and ds loved the heat! Tomorrow I am mixing the leftover salad with a small can of tuna for a great lunch! Thanks for sharing!

Since April 2008, I have been a vegetarian. I dont eat creatures...that's the easiest way to put it! :D
I still eat a small amount of dairy, but not very much.
I have been missing around here for a while, and hope to poke my head in a bit more often from now on...
I hope you enjoy my recipes...
