Oriental Salad Dressing

Summertime means more salads at our house.  And one of our favorite dressings is my Oriental salad dressing.  It so easy, inexpensive, fast to assemble, and so versatile to use with different dishes.  It only takes a couple of minutes to whisk up.

 For this recipe you will need these 5 ingredients:
3 Tabs honey
1 1/2 Tabs rice wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp sesame oil
1/4 cup mayonnaise

 In a small bowl combine honey, rice wine vinegar, mustard, and sesame oil
 Whisk together well
Now add in mayonnaise
Whisk well
And there you have it!!  Oriental salad dressing!!
Store in a sealed container in refrigerator.  This makes enough for 3 or 4 salads.
Tonight I grilled a chicken breast and made a modified version of a grilled chicken Oriental salad, (grilled chicken breast, romaine lettuce, head lettuce, small yellow and red tomatoes, onions, shredded carrots, sliced almonds, crispy rice noodles, and orange slices), topped with my Oriental salad dressing.  YUMMY.

It's a great dressing to use on Oriental chicken wraps, (lettuce, shredded carrots, orange slices, onions, crispy rice noodles wrapped in lettuce or tortilla).
My husband likes to carry this dressing in his lunch and use in on a tossed salad.

If you grilled up some chicken and make grilled chicken tacos and use this dressings with some shredded lettuce and chopped tomatoes and avocado - yummy.

Let me know how many ways you found to use this dressing.

Enjoy.
