Easy Asian Salad
This seems like a lot of ingredients, but it really doesn't take that long to fix. It's one more of my "I have two vegetarian teenage sons who eat a ton" recipes.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dressing ingredients. Set aside. In a VERY LARGE bowl, toss together all the salad ingredients except the noodles and the sesame seeds. Boil the noodles, then cool them by rinsing in cold water. Drain thoroughly. Mix the noodles into the salad. Pour dressing over the top and toss lightly. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. This makes 4 servings at my house, but probably 8 at yours. :) If you want to add some meat to this salad, I suggest sliced BBQ pork, or cooked crab meat (out of the can is just fine).
