This salad went perfectly with my grilled tuna steak. I loved the mix of flavors along with the crunch. It made a pretty presentation and tasted as good as it looks! Will make many times, because DH and I loved it so much. Thanks for sharing!

I added diced radishes to the vegetable mix, but it's really the dressing that makes this salad. The combination of ginger and basil is a winner!

Made this as is without any changes and it was fantastic. Very refreshing and different.

Yummy! I prefer to enhance the flavour by adding extra soya sauce, vinegar, garlic, ginger and sesame oil. I also added some sugar to make it a bit sweet.

This is very tasty and pretty simple to put together as well. Just as a personal taste preference, I use fresh lemon juice instead of vinegar. I will make this again:)
