Your recipe makes a wonderful tasting salad, & we really liked the combo of seeds & toasted nuts! Love the crunch the noodles give the salad! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current round of Pick A Chef] -
My mom makes a similar recipe that my family really enjoys so I knew this one would be a hit! Although we like sunflower seeds in salads, we felt like sesame seeds give more of an Oriental flare, so will probably use them next time instead. I used 1/4 head each of green & purple cabbage.
