My grocery store didn't have lo mein noodles so I substituted whole grain spaghetti. Yummy, easy, leftovers store well and make a great change of pace for the old lunch box.

This salad is satisfying eye-candy. It's quick to make. I often use peanut butter to help me regulate my glucose levels when I've gone too long between meals and get the diabetic "nervous jitters". I am happy to have a recipe that travels well also. I have taken this dish to work as my lunch and I felt in balance all day. Try it, often.
