Gourmet Asian Sauces	Salad Dressing Genie

Enjoy this great Chinese salad.

You will need our Mandarin Orange Sauce or another Asian sauce from your grocery store. Chinese Noodles can usually be found in the Oriental food section of your store.

You may want to make the dressing beforehand so that it’s well-chilled.
