This salad was originally made by my Aunt Celia when she was
working at a restaurant in San Francisco. It has a ton of toppings and loaded with protein so it
really can be a whole meal. This
makes about 4 adult portions. I
have made this to last for a weeks worth of lunches, to do this keep the
dressing until you are ready to serve.
Toasting Almonds and Sesame Seeds: just put them into a
small saucepan in a single layer on medium heat. Stir occasionally.
Almonds are done when they are fragrant and light golden. Sesame Seeds are done when fragrant.
