"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Directions:
Assemble salad and make sesame dressing. I didn't have sesame oil, so instead of using this exact recipe, I used the rice vinegar, apricot marmalade, avocado oil, and then I had a bottle of Primal Kitchen (healthier version of an Asian dressing) and added about 1/4 cup of it to the other ingredients.

Personal Notes:
I love a good Asian salad now and then and had seen this one on a website at some point. I didn't have all of the ingredients, but the version I made was a happy accident. I had a huge salad, and ate every spicy drop of it. I wondered about the cilantro but it made the salad in my opinion, paired with that amazing dressing.
