Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I've made a similar salad and used a little soy sauce and some wasabi with the vinegar in the dressing. Very yummy!

Very yummy! Thank you, Stef! I made the salad again today for lunch and added about three tablespoons of soy sauce and two teaspoons of wasabi powder and it changed the entire character of the salad! Much tastier! You rule! Sparrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
