Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk dressing ingredients together and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

  • NOTE: The salad is best if it is mixed and refrigerated overnight (minus the noodles).

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
