Instructions
Prepare the dressing by combining all of the ingredients in a blender or jar and shaking/mixing until smooth and completely combined. Set aside until ready to serve the salads.
To prepare the salads: Divide all of the ingredients on individual plates or in individual bowls. I like to start with a base of coleslaw mix and then add the other toppings. Drizzle with about 2 tablespoons of Almond Sesame Dressing right before serving.
