Ramen-Sesame Oriental Salad

Submitted by Tinkerbell

"My version of the oriental salad my mom made while we were visiting over the Christmas holiday. My son could live off this salad! It's super easy and tastes great. Definitely a good summer picnic salad, as it's served cold and doesn't contain mayo. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!"

Very yummy made this for dinner. Threw in a few bits of jullienned carrots, red pepper and cucumber. I baked the chicken with a rub of ginger, garlic, lemon grass, salt and pepper. It mellowed for an hour (before we grew too hungry) The only change was I used 1 tsp salt and I would cut back a bit on the oil otherwise I can't wait for lunch tomorrow. Made for ZWT 6
