Oh my goodness - this was fantastic! I loved the warm sweet and spicy curry dressing with the fresh orange and crisp red onion. I couldn't believe it when 13yo DS asked for 'more dressing.' I reduced the sesame oil to 1 teaspoon and the curry powder to 1/2 teaspoon since both of mine were 'hot.' I skipped the salt and topped with some crumbled feta cheese - would make again!
