Delicious!

I made this recipe exactly as it is except I added 1 more TBS of soy sauce. It was delicious cold and warm. I loved it and... my husband loved it. And best of all, it was easy. Great recipe that I will definately make again.Read more

Too Much Oil
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I agree with one of the other reviewers: too much oil. Also, where is the nutritional information? Sure, we can figure it out... ourselves and come within the ballpark in totals, but it's so much easier when they're already listed. Read more

Paula adds salt & pepper
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For those of you who commented that the recipe is bland...watch the video of Paula preparing this salad and you will see that... she added salt & pepper which is left out of the ingredients and directions. This might help!Read more

Needs flavor, too oily
Rated: 2 stars out of 5
