Followed ingredient list except no sweet potato and prepped both carrot and radish.  Rather than keep the veg separate, used a Serious Eats tip to toss all veg together, then topped with the noodles & dressing.   Made a very large platter of salad BUT everything was eaten.  Served with CL's Thai shrimp cakes.

I used egg lo mein noodles instead of udon. Super delicious, definitely a nice way to add variety if you're tired of plain old salads
