Everything gets whisked together in a bowl. Rice wine vinegar is used for acid to brighten up the dressing. White vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be used in it\u2019s place. Toasted sesame seed oil brings flavor to the dressing. Soy sauce gives a salty umami flavor; however, tamari can be used if gluten free or liquid aminos and coconut aminos can be used if you can\u2019t have soy. Tahini is used for flavor; however, you could substitute with almond butter or peanut butter.<\/li><li><strong>Butter lettuce<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 A silky, soft lettuce that almost melts in your mouth especially when covered in tahini dressing. You can substitute with other lettuce varieties, like romaine, green leaf, red leaf or spring mix.<\/li><li><strong>Red cabbage<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Added for flavor, crunch and color, this purple cabbage also provides nutrition like Vitamin A, C and E and has anti-aging properties.<\/li><li><strong>Green onion<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 For that hint of onion flavor, mild green onion is sliced up and added.<\/li><li><strong>Cilantro<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Added for flavor, it pairs nicely with the tahini salad dressing.<\/li><li><strong>Slivered almonds<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Provides crunch and complements the sesame dressing of this salad. May consider using roasted peanuts or walnuts in it\u2019s place.<\/li><li><strong>Sesame seeds<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 Two kinds of sesame seeds are added to this salad for color and flavor \u2013 toasted sesame seeds and black sesame seeds.<\/li><li><strong>Chicken<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 It\u2019s easiest to use&nbsp;grilled chicken. Grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs has the best flavor; although, chicken breast or chicken tenders can also be used. This chicken salad recipe is a great way to use up&nbsp;leftover chicken. For a quick meal, pick up a rotisserie chicken from the deli and use it to make shredded chicken for your Asian sesame chicken salad.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sesame-Chicken-Salad-ingredients\">Sesame Chicken Salad Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;2 tablespoons&nbsp;rice vinegar<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;3 tablespoons&nbsp;tahini<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 teaspoon&nbsp;toasted sesame oil<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 tablespoon soy sauce, tamari or liquid aminos<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 teaspoon&nbsp;brown sugar substitute<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/4 teaspoon salt<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/4 teaspoon pepper<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;4-6 cups butter lettuce<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 cup shredded red cabbage<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/4 cup chopped cilantro<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 green onion, sliced<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1 tablespoon slivered almonds<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/2 teaspoon&nbsp;toasted sesame seeds<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;1\/2 teaspoon&nbsp;black sesame seeds<\/li><li><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"12px\" height=\"21px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ketofocus.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ketofocus\/img\/grip.svg\" alt=\"\">&nbsp;24 oz cooked or grilled chicken<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Sesame-Chicken-Salad-directions\">Sesame Chicken Salad Directions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a><\/a>STEP<br>1Whisk salad dressingIn a large bowl, add tahini, rice vinegar, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, brown sugar substitute, salt and pepper.
