I can't believe I've never made a oriental salad yet. My family would devour this in a flash. Pinning!

Try adding 1 of the season packets and 1 tsp. of soy sauce to the dressing, it will add another level of taste

I've made a similar recipe (Fumi Salad) for years! Use 1 package of Oriental Ramen and mix it with the flavoring packet. Delicious.
