    Can substitute light soy sauce or vegetarian fish sauce for fish sauce. Can use the book's "Chicken breast - poach it".

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Sadly I didn’t care for this. The family didn’t either. The veggies were all great, but the dressing had little flavor except fishiness. I wonder if the fish sauce brand I used was the problem.

    Husband said it was the best salad of the year and the dressing was a huge hit. Took a little longer to chop everything than I expected, but it was worth the effort.

    Light, fresh, herby and crunchy. It really is a salad to make over and over.

    Really delicious, light, fresh flavors - very similar to the chicken cabbage salad I've had at Vietnamese restaurants. Unfortunately, my son didn't care for it as he didn't like the strong flavor of fresh mint nor the occasional bite of chile (which mostly weren't spicy but a few bits were).

    This was really delicious. It fed four hungry people and we just loved it. Because I was eating with kids I didn't add the chili but my husband and I added some sriracha on top and it was perfect. This is certainly going into our regular rotation.

    I think this is the best of the salads in the book. It's really tasty and easy to make. It made for good lunches to take to work, too, which is always an excellent bonus in a recipe.
