      I worked at Applebee's for 6 years and this recipe was pretty spot on. To get the consistency of the Applebee's dressing, add a little more sesame oil and take out the honey and sub 3 tablespoons of sugar diluted in a tiny bit of water.

      This turned out really well (eating it right now). Can't say it totally like the Applebees dressing, but close (trust me, I have that salad EVERY time I go to Applebees, no exception). The thickness is fine. I added some sugar (about a teaspoon) and some salt in addition to the ingredients and I thought it tasted better. Next time I make it, I will use only sugar, as the flavor of honey is too strong and doesn't really taste like the dressing should. Overall its delicious as its own dressing, but not really THE applebee's dressing. My advice is go with this recipe and change it as you like! Experimentation is the best part of cooking, anyway. :)

      Very close flavor to Applebee's. I think Applebee's has a thicker consistency, though. TIP: Let me share a secret of mine.... For those of you who don't have rice wine vinegar, you can use regular white vinegar-- after diluting it. For every 2 tbsp of white vinegar, add 1 tsp of water. Since this recipe just calls for 1 1/2 tbsp of rice wine vinegar, just discard the extra.

      I tried making this dressing and it is awesome! I am so excited to find the ingredients on RecipeZaar. I have always LOVED the Applebee's Oriental dressing and always wanted to know what was in it. This recipe tastes EXACTLY like it and you can substitute other kinds of vinegar, oil and mustard and can also use Miracle Whip Light instead of mayo and it STILL tastes just as wonderful as the Applebee's dressing.

      Yum! This is wonderful! It does taste very much like Applebees. I used it on my own version of Applebees oriental salad - cabbage, sliced almonds, crunchy noodles, and shredded chicken. This will save me tons of money! Thanks Miller

      I didn't have the sesame oil, but I followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Very tastey! I couldn't stop eating my salad. It's not 100% like the dressing at Applebee's, but it is very close to it. I'll have to get some sesame oil; maybe that makes it even better!

      This is a wonderful dressing. Had to sub the vinegar for a red wine, what I had. After tasting, added a pinch of salt and some extra sesame oil, since I could drink the stuff. Used a mayo recipe off this site, basic food processor mayo submitted by Lennie, and this dressing came out smooth and sweet, but with a great flavor from the dijon and sesame. Don't really eat at Applebee's, so I'm not sure how it compares, but great on it's own merits!

      This rather sweet salad dressing was just the thing to dress a citrus fruit salad (spinach, tangerine sections, apples, sliced almonds). My sister asked for the recipe, and she usually does not enjoy sweet dishes that much.

      Excellent, it was good on a spinach salad with chicken and it was also an excellent dip for chicken fingers.

      Quite good and definitely easy to make. I found it too thick and added about 2 teaspoons of water to improve the consistency. Thanks for posting.

      I've made this dressing many times. I'm sorry I've neglected to review it. We love this dressing and it is my go-to dressing when I make a side salad to any Asian inspired meal, whether Chinese or Japanese. I make a lot of both and this just sort of fits with all of it. I usually whip it up in my magic bullet and store the leftover in the fridge. If it is made it gives us a good reason to have salad or cut up veg to dip in it (vs. chips or other not so good for you snacks).

      When we used to go to Applebees (the prices have gotten out of control) I'd frequently have this salad. It is nice to be able to make it at home. Now, I can use grilled chicken and my favorite greens and leave off the nuts for my husband. I see some say it isn't exactly like the restaurant but it has been too long for me to judge. This is close enough and even better because I don't have to pay those high prices.

      Thank you for posting this easy go to dressing.

      Loved this recipe! I am on a no carb, no sugar diet at the moment so I substitued the honey for 3 tbls Splenda diluted in a bit of water and light Mayo.

      Perfect!

      Thank you

      Was okay, but tasted too much like mayo. I will try it making the mayo from scratch to see if that helps mellow it out for a smoother taste.
