Sesame Salad Recipe
This delicious sesame salad combines sesame salad dressing, grilled chicken and pasta. Of course, the chicken doesn’t necessarily have to be grilled; you can use any kind of cooked chicken. It is also a way to use up leftover cooked chicken. For this recipe the dressing is where it’s at. The dressing is pretty much your classic sesame salad dressing using ingredients such a sesame oil, rice vinegar, sugar, and soy sauce. This is a very simple recipe that takes little time to prepare. Enjoy.

1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta
¼ cup sesame seeds
½ cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons sugar
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 cups cooked chicken (shredded or cut into small chunks)
1/3 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/3 cup green onions (sliced)

I just stumbled across your blog as I was searching for a sweet and sour chicken recipe. Let me just say it is fabulous! I love that you have pics to go along with the recipe instructions. Thanks for sharing =)
I started making this recipe, but I probably must be doing something wrong because it definitely doesn’t look this good. It tastes great however.
Just had this for dinner – it’s really delicious! Your recipe presentation and pictures make me want to try each and every single one out! Thank you for a lip-smacking meal
I’m not a great cook but I’ll definitely try this recipe: excellent pictures with it. THANKS
Amazingly delicious!! My husband and I made this meal after we did a six mile run. It was great b/c we needed something fast and we knew we could count on you Bobby! The only thing I changed was I put in 1/4 cup of veggie oil instead of 1/2 (We like to cutback sometimes:)!). The outcome was awesome! My husband said it was a party in his mouth! (you can take that however you want but it made me laugh!) Thanks for this tasty recipe!

is rice vinegar the same as rice wine vingear?
I tried this tonight and it was very good. My salad was a little lighter and I’m wondering if it’s the soy sauce I used.
