Sesame Chicken Salad

Yields 2-3 servings

Have you ever had a salad from Mandy’s? Well, their Crunchy Sesame Salad with Sweet Sesame Dressing is one of their most popular menu items, and for good reason! It has everything you want in a salad, especially if you add a protein. We’ve created our own version, except instead of topping it with crispy noodles, we used our Spicy Gochu Lil Croutons.

Ingredients

• Romaine
• Mixed greens
• Avocado
• Mandarin oranges
• Cherry tomatoes
• Shredded carrot
• Grilled chicken
• Spicy Gochu Lil Croutons

Sweet Sesame Dressing:

• 2 tbsp EVOO
• 1.5 tsp Dark brown sugar
• 3 tsp Meyer Lemon Honey Living Vinegar
• 1 tbsp Soy sauce
• Small splash Toasted sesame oil
• ½ tsp Garlic, grated
• 1-2 tsp Sesame seeds, toasted, crushed
• Salt and black pepper, to taste

Assembly

Step 1

In a small bowl or jar, mix all ingredients together for sweet sesame dressing. This will yield enough dressing for about 2-3 salads.

Step 2

Place desired amounts of remaining ingredients into a large bowl, topping with Spicy Gochu Lil Croutons right before serving.
