I didn't like the dressing at all. There was way too much sesame oil and I like sesame flavoured things. I would have preferred the salad with a lighter lemon dressing.

This is a lovely salad, and it's very easy to make. I cut the recipe in half, but it still made a HUGE amount of salad (a half-recipe could serve more than six people). Irmgard was right - you do get a lot of extra dressing from the recipe. We've been enjoying it on lettuce salad. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious dish for summer. The fresh corn and tomatoes realy make this dish stand out. Just be sure to dress it judiciously... too much dressing is not a good thing (learned that the hard way).

Wonderful!! So many delightful tastes blended together, and so many wonderful textures! I also left out the spinach. The next day when dealing with leftovers, as serving I topped the individual platings with some toasted pine nuts and we loved it that way as well! It seemed to add one more dimension to this delicious multi-dimensional dish. Thanks so much for sharing!!
