Salad

In a large glass bowl, stir together the salad ingredients.
Vinaigrette

In a food processor or blender, process the vinaigrette ingredients. (If using the dried cilantro and ground ginger, you can whisk together the ingredients in a bowl.) Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Keep it Healthy: Soy sauce, a condiment commonly used in Asian dishes, is very high in sodium, coming in at about 1,000 milligrams per tablespoon. Even low-sodium soy sauce has about half that amount, it's still considered a high-sodium product, so use it sparingly and avoid adding it at the table.
