CRUNCHY ASIAN SESAME SALAD



Crunchy Asian Sesame Salad image

This salad is great. Light, crunchy and pleasantly nutty. After graduating from college this past May and being home looking for a job I got sick of eating the same things everyday so I threw this together for something lighter. I've included what I use below, but this salad lends itself to be pretty flexible. Would be great with sliced grilled chicken on top or shrimp might be good too, with a little squeeze of lime. One warning: this makes quite a lot of salad so unless you are feeding a crowd I wouldn't put the dressing on all of the salad at once... it won't keep (soggy lettuce, soggy crunchies, etc). A good solution would be to bag up single serving portions in ziplock baggies and then top with dressing and crunchies when ready to serve. You could even put them straight into the bag and shake to mix it up before putting on a plate.
