Sesame Crunch Salad

I love, love, LOVE sesame dressing but can only ever seem to find store-bought (or even online recipes) that are heavy on ginger, which is not the flavor I’m looking for. I’ve FINALLY perfected (after MANY attempts) my own recipe with a bit o’ spice.

Now, I have the final component for my Sesame Crunch Salad here… at last.

Tonite, I topped each serving with 3 oz of my Garlic S&P Chicken Tenders. Yum-o!!!

I only wish I had the macro/calories allotment for at least another serving.
