Sesame Tomato Salad Recipes

EASY SESAME CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• While chicken is cooling, combine olive oil, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, brown sugar, garlic, and red pepper in a Mason jar; close lid and shake vigorously until combined.
• Chop cooled chicken and place in a bowl with dressing and sesame seeds; toss to combine.
• Combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and onion in a large bowl. Mix in dressed chicken and top with mandarin oranges.

SESAME NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.

SESAME SEARED SALMON SALAD

Steps:

• For the salmon: Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and fresh orange juice in a shallow dish. Add the salmon and marinate for 24 hours in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix the sesame seeds together. Dredge 1 side of the salmon in the sesame seeds and pan sear the seeded side only. In a saute pan over high heat, add a touch of sesame oil and sear the fillet in the middle of the pan until you smell the sesame seeds cooking, about15 seconds. Flip to the other side and cook for 10 seconds. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and cook until desired doneness, 6 to 10 minutes.
• For the vinaigrette: In a food processor, blend the miso paste with the sesame oil and rice wine vinegar. Slowly add the olive oil, soy sauce, and salt and pepper, to taste.
• For the vegetables: In a skillet over medium-high, saute the zucchini, yellow squash, and carrot in the olive oil, sesame oil, and soy sauce for about 45 seconds.
• For the salad: In a large bowl, toss the greens with 2 ounces of the miso-soy vinaigrette and arrange on a plate. Place the stir-fried vegetables on top. Sprinkle with the cashews and tomato slices. Arrange the salmon on top and drizzle with a little sweet soy sauce.

SESAME CUCUMBER AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Place the sesame oil, rice vinegar, sesame seeds, sugar, soy sauce and red-pepper flakes into a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk until emulsified. Taste, and adjust seasonings. (Dressing should taste acidic, a little sweet and salty.)
• When you're ready to eat, prepare the salad: Halve the avocados and discard the pits. Using a small paring knife, carefully score the avocado flesh into 1/2-inch cubes, avoiding cutting through the skin. Use a large spoon to scoop out the avocado flesh (in one spoonful, if possible), as close to the skin as possible. Transfer avocado cubes to a large bowl and add the dressing; toss gently.
• Add the cucumbers and scallions and toss everything together. Season with salt and black pepper, top with more sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
