This salad is quick and healthful and a wonderful accompaniment to grilled chicken, meat, or fish. By substituting lime for the lemon and cilantro for the parsley, as well as by including ground cumin and/or chili powder, it may also be easily transformed into a Tex-Mex dish! Make careful to include the lemon or lime zest since it truly gives the salad a ZING!

Was disappointed that the ginger flavor was so mild. Not hard to make.
This was delicious. I doubled the crystallized ginger and next time would not put in the refrigerator at all, as that dried out the dough.
i love ginger and didn’t care for these. My family hates ginger and LOVED these. go figure. very easy to make.
