Gluten Free Spicy Sesame Noodles

I took these gluten free Spicy Sesame Noodles to our Block Party for twenty years. When I switched to gluten free noodles no one knew the difference! The velvety smooth mayonnaise dressing is what makes this recipe stand out and someone always asks for the recipe.

Notes

This recipe makes 3 cups of Sesame Mayo, more than you need for the salad. Here are some ways to use it up.

As a dip for raw or grilled vegetables.

In an Asian chicken salad that you could invent with some leftover chicken.

On some kind of Asian inspired wrap or bowl.

Tuna or salmon salad, again with an Asian flare. Depending on your taste I typically make up these kind of dishes with some plain mayo out of the jar and the homemade mayo in an amount I think will taste great.
