I used only 2 T oil and added red and yellow peppers. Will try the mandarin oranges next time. Instead of sesame seeds and croutons I used Mrs. May's sesame crunch.

A good idea that turned out alright. Definitely needed mandarin oranges and less oil in the dressing. Following other reviewers, I took liberties with the sauce- Walnut Oil & Olive Oil as the base, soy sauce, red wine vinegar and toasted sesame seeds yielded something I was happy to eat but would be concerned about serving.

Well, as written I can only give this 3 stars. But, there is a lot of potential here! I made it as written and I thought it could use a bit of sprucing up. Next time, I would add sliced scallions to the salad, double the bok choy and leave the romaine out altogether. But, really, it's the dressing that needs some work. It could use some less oil in place of some sesame oil, some fresh grated ginger, maybe some red pepper flakes...Thanks anyway, but, I probably won't be making again!

I probably shouldn't review this recipe, since I made quite a few changes, but it's such a good jumping off point. I didn't have sesame seeds, so I used 1/4 cup canola oil and 2 T sesame oil, 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 3 T soy sauce and 1 T red cooking wine (no mirin). I also added grilled steak (marinated for 15 minutes in the salad dressing), yellow pepper and mandarin oranges. Very good!
