Cashew Chicken Salad with Sesame Dressing


I love main dish salads, especially those that have an Asian flair. One day, about a month ago, when I wanted to prepare a salad of this type for dinner but didn't have my favorite bottled dressing on hand, this low calorie dressing was created to meet the need. It has a very subtle sesame flavor that comes from a bit of sesame oil and the wonderful flavor of Chinese Five Spice Powder. Blessings...

Recipe:

1/2 tsp. sesame oil
2 tbsps. rice vinegar
2 tbsps. soy sauce
2 tbsps. honey
1/4 tsp. Chinese Five Spice Powder

Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.

Serve dressing over a salad of:
Mixed greens or cabbage
Mandarin orange slices
Sliced green onion
Sliced celery
Dried sweetened cranberries
Cashew halves and pieces
Chopped cooked chicken
And of course, anything else that you and your family love in an Asian salad.
