Tonight I had some wonderful smoked salmon (my fiance caught it himself in BC) that I threw on-top, but this salad is so delicious with chicken, or steak or tofu also.!

When I was growing up there was a restaurant down the street, The Laughing Moon, that served asian salads with warm rice on the side. This has become one of my favorite things to do. It makes the salad a satisfying meal!
