Thai Salad With Easy Spicy Dressing image

This dressing is easy and uses everyday items - no hunting down lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves! I did not have limes so I used lemon juice for the dressing and it turned out great. I pulled this out of one of those complimentary magazines from the health food store - "better nutrition".
