The salad dressing is out-of-this-world delicious, with a distinctive Asian-style flavor to it. It’s sweet and sour, and very creamy!  Just like in this Asian Noodle Salad with Peanut Dressing.

    We had this tonight and it was so delicious! We came home from a trip today and didn’t have time to grill chicken, and it was great with rotisserie chicken! We will try it next time with grilled chicken! Just perfect! Thank you!
