directions

  • Combine coleslaw, chopped scallions and broken noodles in very large bowl.
  • Bake almonds& sesame seeds onto ungreased cookie sheet at 300 degrees for 5-7 minutes, then toss into slaw-scallion-noodle combo bowl.
  • Mix the salad oil, sugar, Accent, rice wine vinegar, salt & pepper in separate bowl.
  • Mix into salad mixture.
  • Marinate overnight, stir occasionally.
  • *Make sure noodles are very broken up, and very soft when serving this; important to marinate overnight!
  • *I usually double the ingredients in step #3; add 1/2 of dressing to salad for overnight marination and add other half upon serving, to freshen up the salad if needed. The noodles tend to soak up the dressing overnight, especially if using 5 packages of noodles.

  3. Tara, what an interesting looking recipe, and what a great tasting dish!! I made this for our church picnic. Made it on Saturday afternoon, and it was so eash to put together. I made it exactly as you said, and it tasted wonderful. DH was my second taster, and he agreed. I had a few cashews I needed to use up, so I tossed those in too. My big bowl came home empty. Nary an sesamee seed left!! Thanks for sharing this recipe with Zaar Land! Ann
     
  4. I thoroughly enjoyed this salad, a very unique taste. It's one of those rare recipes that receives many compliments, you know the kind I'm talking about!
     
  5. I was disappointed to see that the Accent Seasoning was MSG...no thanks - did the salad without it... also for the salad oil DO NOT USE Olive oil... I actually have this recipe from a friend and it did specify that - thought folks should know before they whip it up...this is a quick and easy recipe that taste good.

Welcome! I joined this website in 2001, as a new wife and Mom of a 1 y/o and I was 28 yrs old and did not know about cooking. I found this website cause I searched the web and wanted to find a good recipe for carrots! I found that recipe and so much more here over the years. I learned so much from this website and opened up my eyes to other recipes. I now am 46 y/o. I am now divorced and my then 1 y/o son is now a Marine. I have a wonderful man in my life that loves and appreciates my cooking and I thank this site for all of its help. I still come here for recipes. I hope you like my recipes and your family enjoys them also....there is many here and I love to pass them on.
