"One of my DH's favorite salads. If you eat meat, cooked chicken, fish or pork would be really a great addition for a main course salad."

Have made this several times now and everyone always asks for the recipe! You can add or leave things out as you have them or desire; i.e. I've made with and without Jicama (it's a pain to peel & while I like the flavor by itself it kind of gets lost in the salad anyway), green & red peppers (DH doesn't like), onions, celery (not in the recipe but I added it when I didn't use peppers), extra carrots, tomatoes, avocado, etc. I also use about equal amounts green and purple cabbage. If you like spicy I highly recommend either extra jalapenos or leave some of the seeds in (I thought it was way too mild w/ just the two seeded jalapenos). I also like it better with almost double the garlic. And I like red pepper flakes on it. Dressing: I've substituted chunky peanut butter, almond butter and tahini (my favorite) for peanut butter. I've used stevia instead of brown sugar. I've used 3 TB sesame oil and 3 Grapeseed; I've used all Olive oil; but my favorite is all coconut oil (you have to melt it in the microwave first if solid). I've used Bragg's Amino or Tamari in lieu of regular soy sauce (not only gluten free but more flavor, less 'salty').

This is great! So healthy too. I've never used jicama before. Its like a slightly sweet water chestnut. DH loves the recipe too. I skipped the jalepenos, and even without it the ginger has a nice zip. Yum!

Boy, I'm with your husband...this is now one of my favourite salads too, and I have put it in my "Best of the Best" cookbook. I used canola oil and 1 tsp of toasted sesame oil because I didn't have any regular sesame oil. The dressing alone could be used in any recipe calling for asian dressing. This recipe makes a lot for our small family, but I found that the salad held up well till the next day.

Fast and easy, but the spicy brown mustard was to zippy for me.

Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges.  As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried.  But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb.  What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.  The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands.  Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list.  But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /> My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities.  I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago.  Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here:  <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.  When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making.  I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= />
