"From Atkins for Life Cookbook. This is a delicious, low-carb salad with an Asian flare. I have posted it as written, but I like to add chili oil to the dressing to give it a little kick. In the dressing, it is actually tamari sauce, but the program changes it to tamari soy sauce."

I live in Chandler, Arizona, which is near Phoenix. I have been a registered nurse for almost 25 years. Currently I am a clinical supervisor at a health care clinic. I love to cook rich foods with complex flavors, whether they be main dishes or desserts. I have also been eating low carb for about 5 years, so I am pretty good at modifying recipes to match my lifestyle.
