I made this salad for a potluck at work and everyone thought it was great! I added a little extra soy sauce and used fresh ginger to boost the flavor. I will definitely be making this again!
I agree with previous comments. It needed more flavor so I doubled the soy and the ginger. Turned out pretty good, but will not be a go to very often for an Asian flair.
I made this improvising with what I had on hand: low fat mayo, light sour cream, frozen peas instead of snow peas. I also added wasabi powder and more sauce, ginger and pepper. I did not use the full amount of macaroni. The dressing was really thick so I thinned it a little with skim milk. Good flavor and perfect side for Grilled Tuna Rolls.
This is a great salad, however I thought it needed more flavor so I added half a tube of wasabi and a half a bag of shrimp. I brought this dish to a pot luck and everyone wanted the recipe
Adorable .... www.botagaz.com
Great salad except it needed more flavor. I added more soy sauce and ginger. I also added some water chestnuts to give it a littleasian crunch.
We love this salad in the summer.
Omitted red pepper (personal preference) and added cubed chicken breast for a lunch entree. Nice!
