California Roll Salad

SUBMITTED BY: TARA LYON PHOTO BY: SunFlower

"A delicious, light, spicy salad, excellent for summer cooking! A perfect side to any grilled Asian-style dishes. Wasabi paste may be used instead of the powder if it is more convenient. If you discover you have made the dressing too spicy, adjust by adding more mayonnaise."
