I didnt miss the chicken that was part of the original recipe at all. Great flavors, loved the crunch with the noodles and the sauce was very tasty. Only used 3 green onions, 5 small radishes and an organic mix of greens. A favorite for me! Made and reviewed for the Culinary Quest 2016 - Thailand/Indonesia.

Ten stars! This salad was soooo good, and so quick and easy to put together! I only made one change - and that was to substitute napa cabbage for the watercress. Even though this was 4 servings, we both went back for seconds and its, well, gone! Thanks for posting! Made for CQ3.
