TROPICAL FRUIT SALAD WITH SRIRACHA-SESAME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To make the dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, honey, Sriracha, sesame seeds, and soy sauce. Set aside.

SEATTLE SALAD WITH RASPBERRY-SESAME VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine the salad greens and arugula in a colorful bowl or directly on serving plates.
• Sprinkle the pineapple chunks over the greens and top with sprinklings of red bell pepper and sesame seeds.
• For the vinaigrette, combine the sesame oil, one tablespoon of the raspberry vinegar, and herbs.
• Whisk or stir, and taste.
• Sesame oils vary in quality and flavor—we prefer dark oils with a nutty, toasted flavor.
• Raspberry vinegars also vary in acetic quality—some taste slightly sweet, while others are more acidic but have stronger raspberry flavor.
• Adjust all quantities to your preference, and serve in a small vinaigrette carafe.
• A tiny drizzle on your salad will deliver a cargo of flavor.
• Wine suggestion: The tropical flavors of a chilled viognier or roussanne would complement spicy dishes like Prawns in Ginger-Peanut Sauce, and would be excellent served with this fruity, yet spicy, salad.
