I just made the sweet potato salad and it was really yummy. The dressing is a real winner in my book, and it was a great way to get some extra veggies into my husband who is a very picky eater. He loved it too! Very creative, yet easy.

This salad is so tasty and loved how it's really a green salad over sweet potatoes. You only have to cook the sweet potatoes until they are just pokable with a fork or they get to mushy. I loved the salad dressing, simply and toss with arugula and dates! I've made it to go over to friends places, and I always make sure I have left overs for the next day. The best part is the fresh cilantro - just finishes the salad. The chicken dish he made with it, we substituted shrimp in for the chicken which came out nicely and threw the remaining shrimp on top for left overs the next day. The miso paste is in the refridgerated section which is why it's difficult to find. My WholeFoods carries it along with our local health store that carried organic produce.

Tyler instantly when i saw this show i knew i was making this whole meal! It was like asian sould food yummy! The chicken was delicious although i dont think the brine did much to the meat. For the sweet potato salad i used spinach instead of the arugala and golden rasins instead of dates. All the components together did give the salad great flavor but way too much sesame oil! The tartness of the dressing was way too much for me! i tried to add sugar and cinnamon but it just would not mellow the flavor. Also none of my local stores had miso paste so i improvised by making a soy and sirachi glaze for my asparagus. I invited my friends for this asian soul food and they liked it. All and all it was decent but definitely not a five.

Tyler, my man, you are TOPS!! This is undeniably the best, most flavorful salad dish I ever made...certainly among the best of the best from the Food Network! The sauce that goes over the sweet potatos is what makes it so exceptional--I added a tsp of curry powder and used cream sherry for the wine...wow, was that good! Tyler, thanks for being such a great chef!!!!

Great recipe, so many flavors and textures - perfect with any asian style meal. I couldn't find wonton crisps but substituted Wasabi Rice Crackers instead - gave it quite a kick. Definitely will make this again.

I made salad without green part, only potatoes - I like the taste a lot. Very interesting new flavor. I didn't have sesame oil, so I just toasted some sesame seeds - they gave nice nutty taste and texture.
Thank you Tyler

This salad was delicious, but we felt it was way more than a salad, and would be an entree. Also, it was much better the next day after the flavors had time to marry. I didn't add the wontons and I don't know if my arugula was Israeli!

We loved this and it so healthy! I could have skipped the Chicken and just had the salad. Somewhat complicated with all the different parts to it but well worth it.
