I remember buy this bottle of sesame dressing from some Asian market. It was pretty tasty. i would drizzle it all over coating everything with that sesame goodness. I went to a crunchy salad. Chopped carrots, bell pepper, almond slices. and to add an extra crunch, instead of croutons I put in ramen noodle. straight from the pack that i crunched up into pieces. In reality those ramen noodles are precooked to help dehydtrate them for packaging. So they're really ready to eat.

I so love those flavors, too, and now that it is spring this is just our kind of meal! Perfect!

*kisses* HH
oh what a great salad you always make the best dressings
can't beat a good salad
Thank you for this dressing!! I've had variations of sesame ginger vinaigrette and just love the flavors, but you know how it is: you develop a favorite and then you can't find it anymore! Now, I can just make my own . . .!
This is a crunchy, healthy, tasty mix of things, and the dressing sounds great!
The salad looks tasty and that vinaigrette sounds so good! I love sesame and ginger together.
This is just like something I've been craving! Love asian style dressings! :)
Looks fantastic. I love the ramen in the salad, must give it great texture.
Great salad! I love crunchy salads. And the dressing has all my favorite flavors... I just found out that I shouldn't eat much ginger. But I still add a bit to my dishes; it's so good... :)
That's so clever, crumbling up ramen instead of using croutons. Always looking for ways to get more ramen in my diet ;)
We always used to crunch up top ramen into our Chinese Chicken Salads when we were growing up - so delicious! Will have to try that dressing sometime!
Yummy...this looks like a good replica of the Chin Chin salad I used to get. Honestly though, this looks much fresher!!
I love ginger vinaigrettes... I also end up buying bottled sesame ginger dressing at the store, but I'm not sure why. I should be making this! Also, thanks for the tip on adding ramen to your salad... I love crunchy noodles, but didn't know those would work.
I'm always looking for good dressings - I eat salad almost every day for lunch. This is a yummy one that I need to try.
