    Awesome! didn't have shitakes, but cooked up some button mushrooms and added them in. Also I had to use 1/2 apple cider vinegar and 1/2 sushi vinegar because I was out of rice wine vinegar. None of this affected the integrity of the dish. My friend and I loved it- it stands on its own even though it's super healthy.

    This was fabulous. I brought it to a cookout and everyone thought it was tasty. I like that it has such power foods in it.

  • I'm so glad I found this! I have lots of winter kale in my garden and was looking for something new to make with it. This looks and sounds incredible!

  • A perfectly healthy meal! Thank you for this recipe. I always try to keep to a low sodium diet, and get most of my recipes from <a href="http://www.cooking-for-compliments.com">Cooking For Compliments/a> This salad is full of calcium and much needed potassium that people like me need to help flush the excess sodium out. I left out the Nama Shoyu, and replaced it with 1 T low sodium soy sauce, and used purified water to soak the mushrooms. It was delicious!

  • Delicious, Tested and Liked.

  • This sounds delicious - and I always get stumped with my kale...thanks!
