ICAG’s Iceberg, Shrimp and Ginger Salad was the inspiration for this salad. It sounded so good that I just had to try it. The story she told was part of the charm as she said that the salad was one that her dad made. After looking at the ingredients I thought that my Delicious Asian Sauce would be a better fit. Hope you enjoy!
