Thai Salad with Cilantro Lime Dressing image

I created this salad to replicate one I tried on a cruise several years ago. It goes over very well at family gatherings and potlucks year-round. We love the spice of the Thai chile, but if your family isn't into spice, feel free to leave it out. It will still be delicious! —Donna Gribbins, Shelbyville, Kentucky

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients. This is especially important for the lime juice and cilantro.
If you don't have fresh ginger, you can use 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger.
Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, texture, and flavor.
Don't overcrowd the salad. This will make it difficult to mix and serve.
If you're making the salad ahead of time, wait to add the dressing until just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
