I just made this tonight and WOW! It is really outstanding. Seriously, seriously good.
First up: It’s HUGE. Lots and lost of salad. This is good because I ate two helpings. HA! We have some left over, but not a whole lot. (family of 4 and we all had seconds.
Second: I WAS going to add some turkey to this (or chicken) but at the last minute decided to just have the cashews for the protein. I’m glad I did because the flavors were so rich and fresh tasting this way. Don’t skimp on those cashews, by the way! They were excellent.
Third, and lastly: I used Ramen noodles for the noodlies. And I forgot to grab a lime at the store so I used some lemon zest instead. These are the only substitutions I made and I don’t think they altered the original recipe in flavor very drastically- but they worked well if you find yourself in a similar situation as I was in. (mainly- I didn’t want to drive back to the store for a lime.

I have made this many times. I love, love, love it! I use the dressing recipe for simpler green salads and for marinades. Many times I don’t have all the ingredients but any combo will do. Please make this!

I agree: this is an AMAZING salad. So tasty and fresh. I’ve brought it to several parties and gotten rave reviews. But like others have said, it makes a ton. Ihave to save it for parties, because it’s not really a recipe for just a single person.

This salad is incredible, and I am not a “salad person”! Even 2 teenage boys went back for seconds (and thirds). It makes a ton though, you’ll need a really large platter to mix and serve!

This makes wayyyyyy more than 6 servings (not that I’m complaining at all because this is super delicious!). My fiance makes this salad for parties now since it’s such a crowd pleaser.

I make this for my lady gatherings all of the time – always to rave reviews! I usually make chicken sate skewers with peanut sauce to accompany it…mix a little of the peanut sauce in with the salad – it is delightful!!!

Love, love, love this salad! Even my husband asks for this and he is a total meat and potatoes man! It is so versatile and easy to suit to your own taste.

this is now my very favorite salad! it’s even as a side salad – just leave out the noodles.

“it’s even GREAT as a side salad” I meant to write. this is what happens when you have an 8-month old pulling your trousers’ legs while you type

I love this salad – I have added pulled chicken (from a store bought rotisserie) to make it a main dish meal for my man!!

The cashews really make this dish. Definitely don’t leave them out. The salad was fantastic and it kept well for lunch (and dinner, lol!) the next day. It makes a ton! Great for potlucks or gatherings.

Delicious, beautiful amazing. My family loved it. Yes it servers more then six, depending on if it is a side dish or main course. I can’t wait to impress my friend with this salad this summer. As of now, my family is impressed and that is more important. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

This is my all-time favorite PW recipe! I adore it. It’s what got me addicted to all of PW’s recipes. Everytime I make it for a pot-luck, people go crazy. It’s such a unique dish. Thanks for sharing!

I am in LOVE with this salad. It is amazing. My husband even adores it. I double the dressing recipe and marinade chicken with it and toss it on the grill to pair with it. We probably make this once a month and let me tell you it makes WAY more than 6 servings. Its my favorite go to picnic salad as well. Everyone just adores it. (I leave out the bean sprouts and hot peppers to accomodate the kiddies). TRY IT. Its incredible. Promise.

I made this to go along with our ham for our Easter dinner and it was a total hit! Will make it again!

OH MY GOODNESS…my new favorite pasta salad! Totally forgot to put on the cashews and it was still fabulous. Makes a TON of salad, but we all went back for seconds. Thanks, Ree!!
