This has become a favorite at our house. *Note: If making it ahead, do not add shrimp until you are ready to serve...shrimp added a day in advance will become soggy. *

Whenever I serve it for friends/family, I get requests to share the recipe. I add a bit more vinegar, ginger and red pepper than the recipe calls, depending my mood and the palates of the others eating the salad. I also serve it w/ wedges of lime-this adds a lovely flavor to the salad.

This dressing is delicious w/ similar ingredients served w/ Napa cabbage, edamame, etc. for a pasta-less salad.

Awesome salad. My hubby took the leftovers to work for his lunch the next day and the guys wanted to buy his lunch it smelled so good.

This is fantastic! Loved the fresh flavors of the ginger root and cilantro. My husband and I both loved it. Our kids are not picky eaters, but this was a little too mature for them.

I've made this several times and we love it! I dont put much carrot in--and instead of the red peper flakes I add a chopped jalepeno pepper

My husband and picky 2 1/2 year old both loved this recipe. I've made it several times, and it's still a big hit.

This recipe is amazing! It is definately enough for 8 people and then some. The variety of flavors are evident in each bite making the dish very enjoyable. I took the leftovers in to work and everyone begged for the recipe. Nice for a summer picnic.

This recipe was very good - I used whole wheat pasta - I think this recipe would also be good with chicken

I used grated carrots to reduce the cost. Have made it 3 times and it has been requested for large fund raisers in our small community. It's a hit.D.Mikota
