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.

👨‍🍳 Instructions

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.
