Crunchy Asian Cabbage Salad

On the cooking board I frequent, we get a lot of questions about non-mayo salads for picnics, barbeques, and other outdoor events.  Let me tell you, people, this one would be perfect!  It’s fantastically easy to put together, packs a great flavor punch, and stays crunchy for quite some time.  Sounds perfect for summer, doesn’t it?!?
