This tasty salad lives up to its name. It's a great go-to recipe on weeknights because it comes together in minutes, and is so delicious, it disappears just as quickly! Serve as a side or over rice to make it a larger meal. We
also think this would be a great filling for pot stickers.
For a little extra kick, finely chop up (or mince) a clove or two of
garlic and whisk well into the dressing and let meld 10-15 minutes before
dressing the salad. Have turnips? Slice those thinly and toss them in
the salad too.
