I could drink this salad dressing but it's even better drizzled on a chicken salad. Makes a nice main dish for lunch or dinner. Not for the calorie or carb-conscious.
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons peeled grated fresh ginger (freeze it, peel with potato peeler)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons coleman dry mustard
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 clove garlic, minced (double if you like garlic)

2 teaspoons cracked black pepper
2 heads romaine lettuce
1/4 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/4 cup diced celery
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

1. Sift sugar& mustard together.
2. Slowly add vinegar until smooth (whisk).
