I only used 1/4 cup vegetable oil and soy sauce instead of salt. Try those adjustments-absolutely delicious!

I found the tahini ginger dressing peculiar. Added fresh lime juice, fresh diced pineapple, hoping add a lighter note. It was disappointing.

A surprising (sesame paste?) and delicious take on a chicken salad that is ideal for summer dinners with a store bought roasted chicken. We enjoyed this and I will make it again.
