This salad was perfect for the first warm night in MN 2020!  I had to add some regular lettuce also, because my family is not cabbage fans.  So yum, Lindsay!  Thank you!

This looks like a great salad recipe. My wife has been telling me 'no salads for meals' a while now and I think I am gonna try to change that. This looks like it is just the remedy.

yes, jill, they're usually in the Asian section at my store, and they come in either a can (weird, I know) or a clear cellophane bag. if you're unfamiliar with them, i'd only add them to the salad when you serve each portion. they'll get super soggy if you mix them in and then don't eat all the salad.

Hi Lindsay! This looks delicious (as usual)! I can't wait to make this salad this Summer.

Made this last night and it was so good that I had it again for lunch today. The perfect summer salad!!!

This salad is delicious! It is, in fact, way better than I thought it would be. Left the yogurt out due to a lactose problem in the family and did not add any meat or seafood, and it was very satisfying. Thanks for a great recipe!

Looks so colorful and very healthly. Great recipe for hot summer days.

Experimented with this on a potluck dinner crowd and it was a big hit. I didn't have the chow mein noodles, chose not to use chicken or fish and didn't use the yogurt. I thought it was great.
