I guarantee when you taste this you will be making this all the time! If you are not a lover of sesame oil then just use 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, to make things easier you may use packaged coleslaw mix or broccoli slaw, I suggest to pour the dressing onto only the salad you will be using right away as it tends to get soggy if left in the fridge with the full amount of dressing ;-)

I like the flavor of this. I prefer a little heat in it so will add some next time. My peanut butter was pure peanut so I added a dash of sugar. I also felt it needed salt. I like the idea below of putting the dressing on noodles.

This was excellent! I substituted sesame tahini for the peanut butter, and added some crushed red pepper flake (about a tablespoon), and this was great on cold soba noodles with veggies. I was really just looking for a good asian-style dressing for cold noodle salads, and I think this was just the ticket. I even put some of the dressing onto some shrimp before throwing them onto the grill and even that was delicious. The only thing I would want to change would be the spice level- I LOVE spicy food!. I think I will add some chili-garlic paste to it next time around, but this is definitely going into the book for future use! Thanks so much for the recipe!!
