This amazing salad recipe was given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry's Markets in the Seattle area. I've added to the recipe a little -- so it's not exactly the same... but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves it! May also add diced chicken for a variation.
Ingredients
- 1 package angel hair pasta , 16 ounce
- 0.5 cups sesame oil
- 0.5 cups soy sauce
- 0.25 cups balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot chili oil
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds , or more if desired
- 1 green onion , chopped
- 1 red bell pepper , diced
Instructions

1
Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.

Gumbo Style Chicken Creole
Delicious chicken gumbo consistency with tomato base. Makes plenty to last for several days. Serve over hot cooked rice and sprinkle with filé powder, if desired.
Easter Egg Rolls
These Easter egg rolls are not made from Easter eggs, but I cannot think of a better use for leftover Easter ham. Filled with tender veggies and rice vermicelli, with the sweet-savory flavor of ham, and a perfectly-textured thin, crisp exterior, these egg rolls are absolutely delicious. I've included a recipe for a non-traditional mustard sauce, but you can also use any more traditional sauces like hoisin or sweet and sour sauce.
Geneva's Ultimate Hungarian Mushroom Soup
A warm, filling Hungarian mushroom soup that makes a wonderful cool-weather lunch or dinner. It's especially great with a side of multigrain bread! Serve it immediately or refrigerate and reheat — I find that it's just as good if not better the next day.
