I love this quick and tasty meal. Try this instead of a fast food busy day dinner. You can make it faster than waiting at a drive thru.

I really like this author and highly recommend her cook books!! This recipe lacked a little something in the dressing but it would be worth playing around with.

Spicy, but not very flavorful.

Good flavors although the ginger was too strong for me. Had to add more lime juice and fish sauce to balance it out and give it more of a Thai flavor. Couldn't taste the sweet and salty, only the ginger. Used rotisserie chicken and doubled the juice. Will make again though.

I made this the first time, and we couldn't even eat it. I made it again thinking perhaps I didn't use the correct quantities, with the same result. I love Thai food and have eaten and enjoyed many dishes containing fish sauce, but the flavor and aroma of the sauce totally overpowered the other ingredients.

Tasty & easy. I replaced 1 tablespoon water in the dressing with 1 T. chili oil (instead of using red pepper flakes), romaine instead of butter lettuce, carrots cut in matchsticks rather than shredded, no mint but double cilantro, and leftover grilled breast - very good even with all the changes.

I really didn't care for the dressing at all. The fish sauce was way overpowering for myself and I even tried adjusting the ingredients to make it less. It's really funny because I actually love fish sauce in everything else I make.

I enjoyed this salad- quick, simple, tasty & healthy. As a personal preference I replaced the peanuts with toasted cashews- toasting the nuts is a must, or the flavour is lost. I loved how low-calorie the dressing is, but I found the fresh mint and cilantro quite over-powering when left in the dressing. I recommend straining out the herbs after allowing the flavours to mingle. I also added chopped sugar snap peas and baby spinach to add variety to the veggies.

Very good. I used mixed salad greens and added tomatoes to the salad. Even better the next day.

I dont really eat alot of thai,but as soon as you try this you will want more, my taste buds went mad. I added squeezed lemon as an extra dressing to finish of. I placed in on top of diced tomatoes,corriander and mixed green salad mix.yum yum

I thought this recipe was very good. I could not find any fresh ginger that day so I had to use ground. To me, there was too much of a ginger taste, but the rest of my family loved it. I will try it again with the fresh instead and let you know...

Loved this salad. My husband who is vietnamese was at first a bit skeptical because I don't make asian food very well (still learning). But as soon as he took a bite he inhaled it. He wanted more. So this recipe is a definite keeper. Its very easy to make and I like the idea of not having to cook (which is great when your having a busy day).

This makes a really yummy lunch that's healthy and filling. I followed the recipe to a tee, except I omitted the mint. The honey roasted peanuts are a must in this - they were great!
