I only made the sauce, and since I didn't use it on a complete salad I don't want to give it a rating. It was not to our liking at all and we didn't use it. I made it with the tahini, and found it to be very vinegary and acidic, with an overpowering sesame flavor. Using peanut butter, especially if it had sugar in it, may have balanced it a little better (though I added sugar and honey and still didn't like it). Usually I like RR's asian dressings... oh well, next time :)

Yum-o! This is my favorite sesame noodle type salad ever. The spice blend is perfect for me. Because I was serving this to my kids, I reduced the hot sauce to one teaspoon, rather than a tablespoon. I also used cabbage from a bagged coleslaw mix to make it super easy. I love it! Thank you Julz and Rachael!

This salad has terrific flavor. I used lo mein noodles instead of spaghetti and peanut butter instead of tahini. My husband wolfed this down, he just loved it, as did the rest of us. Next time I'm going to add some slivered red pepper, or something similar, to give it more color, though the taste of this is just fine the way it is. Thanks for posting this recipe Julz!
