Sis!!!!!! This is probably one of my favorite salads! I love experimenting with ingredients and different tastes. I follow a vegetable based way of eating and I’m always trying to find ways to incorporate the flavor of the meat and seafood dishes I once loved. Today’s recipe was inspired by my love of Asian cuisine, but in the form of a vegetable based salad. It is sweet, crunchy, and full of healthy ingredients. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
