I find recipes for salads pretty much completely inane.  Yet I save them and actually type them into the computer.  Salad is salad and Bon Appetit recipes are so fussy.  I would have quit writing the recipe around the time it said to mix the salad dressing up.  Then I would have finished it with….mix the salad dressing with the salad ingredients.  Eat it.

That is why I don’t get paid to write recipes.  I saved this recipe because I wanted to try the dressing.  I am a sucker for anything with Asian Ketchup in it.
