Rainbow Salad with Spicy Peanut Dressing

[Guest guest]

Here is a wonderful sounding recipe from Nina Simonds new book: " A

Spoonful of Ginger " . The book is, unfortunately, not all vegetarian,

but it does contain a lot of vegetarian recipes. The book is so

beautiful that I've decided to keep it, even though I don't buy

non-vegetarian books these days.
