Ingredients
SIMPLE SESAME DRESSING
- 2 Tbsp light or neutral oil* $0.08
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar $0.12
- 4 tsp soy sauce $0.13
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil $0.11
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar $0.02
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger $0.04
- 1/2 Tbsp sesame seeds $0.04
SALAD
- 6 cups salad greens** $1.25
- 11oz can mandarin oranges $0.77
- 1 rotisserie chicken breast $1.50
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds $0.50
- 1/4 small red onion $0.14
- 1/2 avocado $0.50
Instructions
- Prepare the dressing first, so the flavors have a few minutes to blend. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the oil, vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, and sesame seeds. Set the dressing aside.
- Slice the red onion very thinly and soak the slices for a few minutes in ice water to take the edge off. Drain the can of mandarin oranges. Slice the avocado and chop the chicken breast.
- To assemble the salads, place about 3 cups of salad greens in each bowl or plate. Top with mandarin orange segments, chopped chicken, sliced avocado, and a few slices of the soaked red onion. Give the dressing one last whisk and then drizzle it over the salads. The dressing is potent, so start with a small amount and add more as needed.
Notes
- *Use a light flavored or neutral oil, like canola, grapeseed, or an untoasted sesame oil.
- **This salad works with a variety of salad greens, or even very thinly sliced cabbage.
