Very nice and useful salad, I quite grated ginger and rose slightly bitter but very useful, will be made often.
color, I'm glad you liked the salad :) A bit unusual, but fresh and really useful.
How many servings average out?
salad of amounts set her break two so that two portions roughly. Although that depends on what is available and how much they eat salad snack :)
Sesame oil can you replace with olive oil?
It is very fragrant, in this case more spice, but not fat, I'm not sure what will happen without it ... If you decide to try, share how they received.
