"I had this at the Hope Lodge. Everyone loved it. It's the best Chinese cabbage salad I have ever had. The lady that made it is a great cook and a very smart cookie. Glad you were with us Joyce."

After searching food.com for this type salad ,I settled on this one for the dressing. I altered slightly. NO butter , and left out garlic. I found the flavor better next day even with the noodles softened. You can always add your nuts the next day for crunch.

This was different from my usual Chinese salad. I liked the different tastes and textures. Made a nice lunch. Thanks! Made for the Bargain Basement December special.
