"This is a nice Asian-style veggie-pasta salad that is great for summer BBQ's. I like to serve this with grilled chicken or chicken kabobs. It also makes a nice main-dish salad when cooked, diced chicken is added."

This was great. You have the savory flavor of the sesame, the noodles, and then the crunch of the veggies. This is definately something I will make again. The only thing I did different, was I left out the waterchestnuts. Very easy to make for such an nice, not so ordinary dish. Definately a keeper.

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!) I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit. My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
