Delicious! I make the same salad with Walnuts and lime juice instead of sesame seeds.. But I will be trying your recipe also – thanks!
My husband went back for seconds. It was a terrific accompaniment to our Soy Curls Sloppy Joes. New fave combo at our house. Thank you for your work and creativity.
Love this! What a simple oil free dressing
Yum! This was crunchy full of flavour and the dressing went with it so well. Thank you for your simple and yummy recipes.
