This salad dressing is one of the best I've ever tried! It's so light and full of flavor. I want to put it on every salad I make.
ReplyDeleteAlyson, I love this Vietnamese style salad. I'll use it in a sandwich with french bread like they do in S.E.Asia.
ReplyDeleteIt looks amazing, I have to make this recipe and share it with others!
ReplyDeleteTried this with green cabbage only because I did not have the red. it tasted great.. What a better choice to eat this Asian coleslaw than eat a mayonnaise base coleslaw that we are so used too. Thanks Alyson for the great variation. How about a recipe for black bean salad?
