Chinese Cabbage Salad

Submitted by Babs in Toyland

"We had this at a dinner party a couple weeks ago and everyone loved it. I really don't like using the ramen noodle seasoning packet but the flavor of this salad was incredible. It does make a lot of salad so I guess you really don't end up eating enough seasoning to worry about."

I've made this salad twice, and loved it both times. It's very forgiving - the second time I made it I used almonds instead of sesame seeds.
