"I love the combination of textures in this salad. It is very healthy, and has endless possibilities as far as ingredients. You can add snow peas, water chestnuts, broccoli, etc. I serve this topped with chow mein noodles. YUMMY!!!"

Sorry, but I couldn't eat the dressing. Much too salty! Used Applebee's Oriental Dressing #30470 and it was great!

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
