I really enjoyed this salad, both the night of and the next day. I was somewhat responsible for the final dressing (I added the fish sauce and mayonnaise to give it more zing and a little creaminess), and I think it came out almost perfectly.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!

March 22, 2012I'll definitely be trying this soon. It looks great. I might cheat and use some prepared cabbage.
