Chinese noodle box salad

This is one way of getting some good raw vegies into the kids. The sweetness of the honey and the nutty crunch of toasted sesame seeds are delicious combined with the fresh vegies and slippery noodles. This is the salad in its simple form, but chicken or other meat can be added to make it a bigger meal for bigger kids.
