Geema, I just love this dressing! I don't use all sesame oil, maybe 1/3 sesame and 2/3 olive or corn oil. It's my new favorite dressing! Thanks for posting this one! -
Really yummy! I made two versions of this recipe, one with the honey and one without. The honey-ed version was served over peanut/sesame noodles and was a huge hit. I used the batch without the honey over some shredded chicken and greens, and I was just so pleased with myself! I also used some of the dressing the saute green beans, it gave them a great taste! This recipe is a little expensive to make, because of the sesame oil, but a little goes a long way, and is worth every penny! Thanks Geema, there's always going to be a bottle of this stuff in my fride. -
Oh my lord, you are my DH's new hero! He gives this 5++ stars, an I have to agree, it was pretty good. I increased the honey a tiny tiny bit and left out the five spice powder (didn't have any) and it was still yummy and tangy. I watched DH inhale nearly a whole huge bowl of salad, which he never does, so thanks for that! This will definitely be a new staple around here. We put it on basic iceburg salad (lettuce, carrots, cabbage) sprinked with rice noodles and dired cranberries and it was excellent, quick and simple. -
Sorry, Geema but we weren't too happy with this. We found that there was too much oil for our tastes, which made the salad taste kind of greasy. The five-spice gave it a grainy texture and while we love five-spice, we didn't really like the flavor. It was edible, but I think what is left in the fridge is destined to go down the sink.

Very good! I didn't have quite enough sesame oil, so I substituted veg oil, but added about a tsp of sesame seeds. Added a visual touch and maybe a little extra flavor.

<p>Life often interupts our comfortable routines in very unexpected ways and in the past three years I've certainly faced some challenges. As a health nut who ate mostly vegetarian I was beyond shocked to discover that I was diabetic. <img title=Yell src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif border=0 alt=Yell /> I shouted and rebelled and cried. But the good news is that I can control my glucose levels simply by eating very low carb. What a complete turn around it was to pass up all my high carb vegetarian foods like grains, and veggies and embrace meat! <img title=Surprised src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-surprised.gif border=0 alt=Surprised /> I've adjusted to this limited diet and thanks to Zaar can eat a nice variety of healthful meals.</p>
<p> The next challenge was a freakish fall I took while in New York with my daughter that left me paralyzed and in much pain. I thank God that I am so much better today after more than two years recovery, with total mobility and just some minor pain in my arms and hands. Cooking and communicating here was not really on my priority list. But, I am back in action and ready to cook, take photos, and enjoy this wonderful community of friends.<img title=Laughing src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-laughing.gif border=0 alt=Laughing /></p>
<p>My husband and I continue to enjoy our grandchildren and being closely involved with their day to day activities. I am also the proud owner of a sweet grey and white cat who came to my door as a little kitten 6 months ago. Her name is Bonny and you can read her story here: <a href=http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg target=_blank>http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/clickToGive/ps/3/g7hopubcqxji7ub0y6fg</a>.</p>
<p> When I have time for myself, I love to do all things artistic...drawing, pastels, paper craft, scrapbooking, and most recently jewelry making. I have set up a website on ETSY ( shown on this page by my website)and you can go there and see my creations.<img title=Cool src=../tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cool.gif border=0 alt=Cool /><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /> <br /><br /><a href=http://photobucket.com target=_blank><img src=http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/houdini6.jpg border=0 alt=Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket /></a> <br /><br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt= /></p>
