Sesame Green Salad

"This is from Everyday with RR. I’m typing it up for ZWT II. This is a great blend of flavors. It makes a thin dressing. This would also be good with plain rice."

  1. A perfect side salad for Asian-style grilled meats! Quick and easy to make, too. I added chopped scallions to my lettuce mixture, but otherwise stuck to the recipe. You could also make a quick, healthy meal out of this, by simply adding leftover cooked chicken, beef or shrimp. Cucumbers would be nice in this as well. I will try that. Thanx for sharing!
     
  2. This was just okay for us. I love all of the ingredients used in the dressing, so I thought I would really enjoy it. As written, the soy sauce and rice vinegar overpower the other dressing ingredients and I was unable to taste anything else. I would suggest adding more sugar and sesame oil and toning down the vinegar and soy sauce, especially if you prefer dressings that are a little sweeter. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. AWESOME recipe! The dressing is perfect! I added some mandarin oranges and sliced almonds to the salad. The dressing is excellent over some sticky calrose rice too!
     
  4. I liked this a little less than some of the other reviewers.. that said, this is also the very first Salad that I have tried that uses an asian dressing so maybe it's an acquired taste. I found the rice vinegar to be a little overpowering, but having only used it in cooked dishes before and marinades, it is also probably just something to get used to :) Please see my rating system: I have still rated this 4 stars because over all, I liked the concept and most of the taste and would definiately make this again (with less rice vinegar until I get more used to the taste of what was a very new sort of dish for me) Thanks!
     
  5. I could just drink this dressing! Simple, easy, very tasty and healthy - what more could you want! Thanks for sharing your lovely recipe!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
