Maybe a little more dressing. I only got a good taste of the flavor every second or third bite but it’s a great salad! It was very well received by the whole family! Another great salad by Gimmesomeoven! Thank you!

Phenomenal salad! Just made it for lunch today for me and my husband, who doesn't always love raw veggies, but he loved this salad. It was soooo delicious, refreshing, and filling. Totally hit the spot- Thanks Ali!

Delicious! We loved everything about this - crunch, fresh flavor, tangy. It's a keeper just like most of your other recipes Ali!

This salad recipe caught my eye as something my family would enjoy and most certainly didn't disappoint.  It is fresh, light, crunchy and delicious.  I did double the dressing recipe and didn't feel like it was too much for the salad ingredients.  I would suggest waiting until right before serving to toss the salad and would hold the toasted almonds until the very end to achieve ultimate crispness.  This recipe truly is a winner.  I will be making it often, especially during the summer months.  Thank you, Ali!

So delicious! After a couple other commenters recommended more dressing, I made 1.5x the amount written and thought it was great - I personally would have found doubling the dressing to be too much.  I definitely plan on making it again and look forward to riffing on it with other toppings in the future!

Delicious! We subbed cashews for almonds and didn't have any green onions; however, it was so tasty! The texture was so satisfying: crunchy and fresh and perfect for summer. I think mandarins would be perfect in this too.  I was hoping for leftovers, but it was gobbled up in one night!

Triple the dressing.  It needs more and you will want some for another time.  I also added romaine to make it stretch for a crowd.  I also cut up Napa.  I do not like to use bags of coleslaw mix because it stinks, and therefore, will also have an old taste.  This is a very good salad.  For dessert serve fresh berries and cream

I really liked this but my husband and 15 year old thought it was okay. I used a bag of coleslaw and added some romaine lettuce, made the baked chicken from the attachment, and used sliced almonds. I also doubled the dressing.  We have plenty of salad left over for lunch tomorrow. Will definitely make it again.

So delicious! Thanks for the recipe. I added edamame and kale to make it more filling.

I use the vinaigrette to marinade the chicken and cook it in a skillet on the stovetop and it’s delicious. I make a second batch of vinaigrette for the salad and that’s plenty for us. Enjoy!

I love this salad! I'm not sure whether coleslaw mix is a thing here in Scotland since I couldn't find it; I used romaine lettuce and a bit of purple cabbage instead. I also used tuna instead of chicken and apple cider vinegar since I had no rice vinegar. So good! It's worth the effort and keeps well in the fridge. I'll definitely be making it again. Thanks Ali!

It was a delicious BBQ crowd pleaser.  Added BBQ chucken!

Absolutely delicious. I also made extra dressing and it was so good. Going to keep this recipe handy!!

Omg this is delicious! I added some mandarin sliced drained from a can yummy.  Toasted Almonds! Hit all the notes I was craving! Thank you.

Delicious and fresh. Made this for lunch in keeping with my E2M meal plan. I have had it for lunch everyday since. Definitely a must-have recipe for anyone practicing clean eating.

Btw, I used chopped romaine in place of the slaw mix.
