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!
