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.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute candied walnuts or fried shallots p. 254 for macadamia nuts, daikon radish for jicama, and oranges for mangoes.

    I riffed on this, substituting a bag of coleslaw mix for the jicama, red cabbage, radishes, and sprouts. Half the vinaigrette recipe seemed like the right amount. Used (storebought) fried shallots instead of macadamias, as suggested. Omitted the mint. Did not need the extra salt. The salad was really good.
