Is salad season over? It's never over in our house. I tasted this incredible salad at my sister in law's as I helped her prepare for her son's rehearsal dinner. As I assembled it, I realized that this had the Asian flavors my family would love. I served it on Thanksgiving day and it was finished off right to the last drop. This is one of those recipes that can be prepared ahead of time.
