Citizen Cake 2008 Chicken Salad Dressing

I'm not sure if this is the exact recipe Elizabeth Falkner, Executive Chef and owner of Citizen Cake used for her 2008 version of a chicken salad, but it sure tastes like it. I've benn making this dressing for Mr. Bee the passed days as it works to make him wipe out his plate of greens. Just yesterday I dined at the famous Citizen Cake on Hayes, and ordered their chicken salad. And man it surely taste like my good 'ol Japanese dressing!


4 tbsp ground white sesame seeds
2 tsp rice vinegar
2 tsp vegetable oil
2 tsp sugar
2 tsp soy sauce (kikoman)
2 stems of green onions chopped finely
2 tsps mayonnaise

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Add mayonnaise as you like.

And this is how I would guess to prepare the salad...

Arrange a bed of Romaine lettuce chopped as you would for a tossed Caesar Salad. Add shredded boiled chicken breast, seasoned with just a little salt and pepper and sesame oil. Add wedges of fresh grapefruit or blood oranges. Pour the sald dressing over. Add crispy wanton strips or crispy rice noodles. Garnish with cilantro, more green onions, and black sesame seeds.

Fantastico!
