In reply to Tamar.

I used Coconut Aminos instead of fish sauce since I don’t eat meat and it was DELICIOUS! We didn’t have red cabbage alone, so I used Trader Joe’s Cruciferous Crunch which has red cabbage, brussels sprouts, kale and it also was excellent!! We will be adding this to our regular menu!!

Hi Tamar,

Yes, that’s tricky because fish sauce has its own special flavor. It is very salty, so I would say soy sauce or some sort of soy substitute would be the best option. Hope this helps!

I love your recipes and I can’t wait to try this one. I’d like to avoid using fish sauce because I’m vegetarian. I couldn’t find a vegetarian version at my grocery store. Would tamari, coconut aminos, vegetarian oyster sauce, or something else help give the dressing a nice umami flavor? I’ll appreciate any suggestions you share. Thanks!

OMG what a brilliant salad. Loved the Video and that dressing looks tempting. I also made a Quinoa salad sometime back but not as this tempting as this one.
