I have been on an Asian food kick lately. I have had a ton of fun creating some new Asian recipes. This salad is especially flavorful and I added some crunchy Chow Mein noodles for the extra texture in this dish. I am really enjoying using fresh grated ginger. I just love ginger! It is one of those healing herbs that promotes great digestion, and aids in combating inflammation in the body. It also helps your body with the absorption of essential nutrients and aids to help with nausea. I love using in tea, dressings, and stir fry. I paired this salad with a fresh ginger dressing is the perfect compliment to this tasty salad. I hope you enjoy it.
Bon Appetit,
