This is my family's and friend's all time favorite salad recipe. We eat it all year long and it always seems to impress when I take it to potlucks, BBQs, and holiday gatherings.

I usually add 1 1/2 T. of sesame oil to the dressing. And add romaine lettuce. This is one recipe that I really enjoy!! The sesame oil really gives it an asian flair!

Our extended family loves this salad. A niece fixed it for a holiday meal and it's on every table when we have a get-to-gether. There's never so much as a noodle left.
