    A lovely meal. Very fresh and tasty. Only drawback was the chopping of the cabbage, but I am just lazy! Really healthy and low in fat, but delicious. Woke up the following morning 1lb lighter!!! Will definately be making again!!!

    nice and fresh - definitely made us feel healthy afterwards but had to serve with some crusty brown bread to fill us up for dinner. Would be a great salad at a bbq!

    We ate it together with the Carrot & Coriander soup (GF Aug 08) Loved the crunch! Never made a dressing with fish sauce before. Next time I use less of it. It was a bit to salty for me.

    Lovely and fresh. Perfect Monday evening meal to make you feel better about the weekend indulgence. I served it with wraps for my hubby, he is a bigger eater than me. Will definitely make this again, but next time for lunch since hubby does not like the idea of cold food for supper

    Fantastic. we missed out the chicken as it was a side salad, although we did add a handfull of small cooked prawns. Also added beansprouts and dry roast peanuts for added crunch. Will be a regular dish!!

    Ok, tried my luck again and hubby loved it. This is a must try, especially if you have left over chicken in the fridge

    This is a fab recipe...very refreshing and full of flavour with a great kick with the chilli. I used soy sauce instead of fish sauce as im not very keen on it. instead of using the cabbage carrot and onion i brought a small stir fry veg pack, which i stir fried for 1 minute with with some pre cooked noodles. once slightley heated i added one un cooked red pepper thinly sliced and spring onion added the dressing and served with ready cooked chicken from the delhi (most supermarkets have this). didnt add mint either... but none the less it was fab!

    The whole family loved this salad. I served the chilli separate so the kids didn't have to have them. We also added chopped salted peanuts. A lovely fresh salad excellent for the Aussie summer,but I would still have it back home in the cold.

    Substituted the cabbage for broccoli and made it quite quite delightful. A great recipe and bound to be a regular!

    This was far too salty...and I did think when making it that 4 tbsp of fish sauce was far too much and I wish I had trusted my instincts as it completely drowned out all the other flavours.
