Hi Sugar:
This recipe sounds excellent, especially as I have some Napa cabbage in my fridge waiting to be used up. The only thing that I am wondering about is the sesame oil. There's a whole lot of it here! If you're not familiar with sesame oil, it has a very strong, intense flavor. I think I'm going to try making this, but use half sesame oil and half vegetable oil instead of all sesame oil and see how I like it. This recipe showed up just at the right time as I've been planning my next menu and shopping trip and was wondering what sides to have with a smoked duck that I'm going to try. Again, thanks for sharing. Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sugar" <sugarsyl71@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Colorful crispy vegetables that have the perfect balance of sweet and sour. 
A great summer side salad.
Servings: 4 Prep Time: 10 min Total Time: 10 min

Ingredients:
Dressing:

1/2  cupGluten Free Soy Sauce
1/2  cupSesame Oil
1/2  cupRice Wine Vinegar
1/4  cupGinger
1 cloveGarlic
2 TbspSugar)I use splenda or extivia)
2 TbspToasted Sesame Seeds
Salt & White Pepper, to taste
4Yellow Peppers, julienned
4Red Peppers, julienned
2Peeled English Cucumbers, julienned
3 cupsNapa Cabbage, chiffonade
1/2  cupGreen Onion, julienned
1Red Onion, julienned
Black & White Sesame Seeds, to garnish

Directions:
Take all items of the dressing but the sesame oil and mix in a blender. Once 
well combined, slowly add the oil a little at a time until it is all mixed
in. Set aside. Wash vegetables and cut them as specified. Toss the
vegetables with the dressing a 1/4 cup at a time so the vegetables don't
become over saturated. Place in the fridge to help incorporate the flavors. 
Garnish with sesame seeds.
Helpful Tips:
Any unused dressing can be saved in the fridge for a week.

Faith is the strength by which a shattered world shall emerge into the
light.
