Mild flavors make this a dish even picky eaters will like. The coleslaw mix brings a pleasing crunch to the veggie-filled recipe. Rebecca Sams - Oak Harbor, Ohio

Good recipe, added some horseradish and soy sauce for added flavor but was yummy!

My son and I enjoyed this but we will make a few substitutions to fit our tastes. It seemed to be missing something.

I thought this was a great dish and way fewer calories than ordering asian delivery! I did however replace the Italian dressing for an Asian sesame ginger vinagarette by wishbone and still used the balsamic. I ommited the ginger since it was in the dressing and thought the asian flavor was perfect! I also added crushed red pepper flakes because I love spicy. Lastly, in order to cut calories and carbs I used spaghetti squash and it tasted wonderful. Definitely going to make it again and I love that it's healthy.

I have made it several times. Very easy, quick. The only thing I added different is to add more seasoning than what is called for. My family likes seasonings

I would have to agree with time2cook. This wasn't the best. It was missing something, but I guess that's why it is considered a "lighter dish".

I liked it, but needs a little something to add some more flavor. Not sure what to add. A thicker sauce of some kind would be good.

After quitting smoking 4 months ago, I gained 20 pounds, so started looking for recipes that were low in fat, yet high in flavor. This recipe fits the bill! I made my own Balsamic Viniagrette (balsamic vinegar, chopped garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil) and fresh chopped ginger (1 tsp) and garlic (2 tsp) instead of the ground.

I will make this one again!

Another delicious dish. The packaged slaw mix and pre-sliced mushrooms cut prep time. And I added some zucchini from my garden, which really blended nicely. I didn't realize I was out of ginger, so had to leave that out, and I missed it. I think it would have added that extra asian flavor I was looking for.
