"MILLION DOLLAR" CHINESE CABBAGE SALAD

This recipe is always a hit...with kids too! I used to call it my 'Million Dollar Salad' because buying the sesame seeds was so expensive. Now I buy the sesame seeds in bulk at a health food store and it's much more affordable.

This was first called "Million Dollar Rice Salad" and won first prize in a Texas Farm Bureau contest- where all the recipes had to contain rice and this was the prize winner and the only dessert salad entered. Since then it has been on dinner tables and buffet counters at most every holiday and celebration and goes by many...
