SO HOW'D IT GO?
Great dressing and very easy. Next time I'll add carrots and baby corn.
I think the dressing could use a little more lemon juice. Next time I make it, I'd probably add some shredded carrot for a bit of color. Good recipe, though.
This is a great recipe. It's easy to make and has been a hit each time I've made it. I've had numerous people ask for the recipe. I use red cabbage and it looks lovely in a colorful serving bowl. Thanks for sharing, adagio!
hi, the author here....i have only ever used hoisin sauce. it really makes this salad. can you not find it? perhaps others can help.
does anyone know a good substitute for hoisin sauce? Is it necessary for this recipie or is there something else like it i could add? Thanks
An added note from the recipe's author: it is not intended that you use all of the dressing. Simply add as much as seems good to you.
