I have made this recipe as stated, but much prefer it with a couple of moderations. I completely omit the ramen noodles and seasoning because it adds WAY too much sodium. I use all other dressing ingredients given and just add some garlic powder and ginger to taste. Everything else I do the same, but leave off the almonds because of finicky people in my house. Great recipe I make over and over again! I also agree that the flavor is even better the second day.

I love this salad. My husband said this is one of the best salads he's tasted. I immediately went back to the store to get more ingredients to make it again. And will make it alone to eat for lunch. The tang/flavor of the dressing is perfect. I used sugar snap peas instead of pea pods. Definitely a new favorite.
