Delightful and refreshing. Served with sliced chicken breast over the top. Easy to prepare and so colorful. Will definitely serve it at a garden luncheon this spring.

this eclectic salad was a surprise. it was attractive, tasty, and easy to make. the dressing was especially nice...the ginger rounded out the taste and softened the vinegar.

What a great salad! Comes together quickly, and is beautifully presented. Healthy to boot! I served with salmon that used a marinade that used sweet chili sauce, which I then crusted with panko crumbs. The flavors melded gorgeously!

The combination of the asian flavor and the strawberries makes this slaw/salad something special. Made it twice in a week, and it's quite versatile if you want to mix things up and add different nuts or cherries instead of strawberries.

This salad is OK, but not great. I probably won't make it again. The spice is a little overwhelming in some bites, but the dressing is not overly flavorful.
