Ramen-Sesame Oriental Salad

"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!"

  1. 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

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Hi! I am happily married with two children, 26 and 12. For nearly 10 years when this site was Recipezaar and then Food.com I hosted several different forums. I enjoyed making, creating, reviewing, and photographing recipes, but what I miss the most are the friendships I made here. I was Food Editor for the Mill Creek View Newspaper in Mill Creek, WA. for about 4 years during that time. Currently I am the office manager at a small mental health clinic. I'm not on this site much anymore, but I do continue to appreciate and respond to all reviews posted to my recipes.
