This tasty Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad is one of my favorite recipes. My daughter loves it for her school lunch box too and with the easy preparation time I am able to make it for her a few times a week.
The tangy Asian style salad dressing is extra flavorsome and so versatile, you can prepare a batch and keep extra bottles in the fridge for future use! Toss it over cooked pasta with chicken pieces, cilantro and chopped green onions. It’s perfect!
To make Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large skillet over medium-high heat cook the sesame seeds while continuously stirring until lightly toasted, then remove from the heat and set aside.
In a large pot of boiling, lightly salted water, boil and cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente then drain the pasta and rinse under cold water until cool. Transfer to a large salad bowl.
In a bottle with a tight-fitting lid, mix the vegetable oil, soya sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar, sesame seeds, ginger and pepper and shake well to combine.
Gently toss the cooked pasta, chicken, cilantro and green onions together and mix in the sesame dressing to coat evenly.
Serve as is and enjoy!
