This salad looks so good!! Will it taste good the next day?
Yes, it will taste great the following day as well. Hubby loves to take it to lunch. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
I just made this recipe because I needed to use up some steak and happened to have all of the ingredients in my fridge and all I can say is WOW! My husband couldn’t stop eating and even my toddlers ate it. I doubled all of the ingredients except for the salt since I ran out of light soy sauce and had only the regular left and also left out the fresh herbs since I didn’t have those in hand. I also did substitute the tobasco for some sweet chili sauce, didn’t have any either. I served this with rice noodles and we couldn’t get enough! Thanks so much for sharing this, your blog is an excellent resource and inspiration especially for those times when I am lacking it. I haven’t once been disappointed with any recipe of yours. This was so simple and quick to make, I will have to make this again and very soon! :))
Awww, Marina. You’re so sweet and totally put a smile on my face and my hearts feeling rather happy.
So glad you enjoy this salad. We love it as well. Yumm, I love the sweet chili sauce substitute. I’m going to try that next time, we love sweet chili sauce, thanks for the idea. <3
So good!!
That’s wondeful, Jenny. So so glad you enjoyed this unique salad. :O)
Does the tobasco sauce in this salad make it spicy?
