Asian Chopped Salad with Garlic Sesame Vinaigrette Recipe served with Sweet Chili Pollock Tenders - quick and easy weeknight dinner idea with a ton of flavor!
Sponsored by Gorton's Seafood.
Today I am partnering with Gorton's Seafood to bring you one of my favorite summer salads with Asian flavors. Fresh and colorful vegetables are chopped and tossed with quick and easy vinaigrette made with soy sauce, garlic and toasted sesame seeds. This salad perfectly pairs with Gorton's Wild-Caught Pollock Tenders with Sweet Chili Sauce. My Hubby and I are obsessed with sweet chili sauce on our favorite Asian dishes so we knew the pollock tenders will be a hit!
Not only we loved them but our kiddos did too which makes this a family friendly dish for sure!
For this salad, I tossed chopped Romaine lettuce, red cabbage, thin carrot sticks, chopped green onions and one red bell pepper. Since the fish tenders come with a sweet sauce, I omitted brown sugar from my Asian vinaigrette recipe. It's main flavors are garlic and sesame seeds. Toss the ingredients together in a jar and shake before use. You can make it all ahead of time too!

If one needed the brown sugar, what is the amount to use?Reply

Hi Tami! Thank you for the question! I add 2 tablespoons but you can start with one and adjust to taste. I hope this helps! Have a beautiful day! -Anna
