Asian Style Salad

I am in my salad phase. With exams around the corner and having to study for them, I do not have much time to go to the kitchen and cook elaborate meals. So I prefer making dishes that are quick and filling. And salads are a no-brainer for that. This Asian Style Salad has a balance of flavours of tangy, sweet, salty and punjent. For all tea lovers, it goes really well with lightly brewed green jasmine tea.
