NOTES
I like to chill this salad so it's nice and cold, but you wouldn't have to chill it for an hour if you were really hungry. :) Also, the dressing is totally personal preference as far as measurements go. Omit the wasabi if you don't like it spicy, bump up the vinegar or lime juice if you want it to be more acidic, etc.
