Oh yes, YUM! And I agree with Suparpea - let this salad rest before serving, to blend flavors. When I tasted the dressing just after heating it, I thought "oh, well - I don't know if I like the taste of that". But then refrigerate and taste later - YUM!! I made the recipe as posted except to add chopped red bell pepper (because it was there , some chopped water chestnuts for crunch, and a teaspoon of chopped garlic to the dressing (couldn't hurt!). I took this to a picnic and it was GONE. Thanks for posting!

Just after making this I thought, it's ok... After it melded for a couple of hours at room temperature I said, "YUM!" and when I had a little snack from the frig several hours later this salad deserved a "WOW!" Be sure to give this one some time for everything to marry. I followed the recipe and using olive oil and Splenda. Terrific, Sallie H.

There is a restaurant in Phila that serves this and claims they invented the recipe. Shame on you Le Bus, but thank you so much for posting this great main dish salad. I loved Le Bus' and I love Marshall Field's. Great recipe

This has a delightful flavor. I cut the spaghetti down to 3/4 lb. because it seemed a lot relative to the other ingredients; glad I did because I still felt it was a little dry. Next time I will also spray a little olive oil on the pasta while preparing the sauce because mine stuck together and I had a hard time getting it all combined. I, too, added a little garlic powder and a few peanuts for crunch. Thanks for posting Sallie; I will make it again.

Wasn't too crazy about this one. I didn't think the dressing was sweet enough for my taste. I like all of the ingredients that went into the salad...just think the dressing needs a little tweaking. Thanks for sharing.

What a great salad ! This was easy to make and had a very nice taste . This recipe makes a LOT ! , and would be nice for a pot luck . I made the recipe exactly as written but , I think a handful of chopped cilantro would be a nice addition . I know I will give it a try the next time I make this yummy salad !

LOVE this salad! Only thing is I don't love it with the turkey. I think it gets too mushy when refrigerated. Sub chicken instead. Also really like a lot of snow peas- delicious!

Delicious! I took this to work to a birthday celebration and it was well recieved. The sauce is yummy! I rarely stray from a recipe the first try but there were not enough veggies to suit me so I doubled the carrots and added snow peas, celery, yellow pepper, bean sprouts and spinach. I "steamed" the carrots, celery and snow peas by placing them in the colander pouring the hot pasta over top and then running cold water over all. Also, I did not use sesame seeds due to dietary issues so replaced some of the oil with sesame oil and passed the sesame seeds for sprinkling to those who had no dietary restrictions. My coworkers loved it and DH loved the leftovers and wants to have this again soon! Thanks so much for posting Sallie H.
