📝 Preparation Steps
1
CHICKEN: Prepare chicken according to directions (click here). Chop chicken or thinly slice. Reserve extra Teriyaki Sauce to drizzle over salad.
2
DRESSING: While chicken is marinating, prepare dressing by adding all dressing ingredients to food processor except canola oil and sesame seeds. Blend until smooth. Add sesame seeds and canola oil and pulse until combined. Add additional honey for sweeter or cider vinegar for tangier if desired (will depend on how sweet your pineapple is and how tangy you want it). Refrigerate. Shake or stir when ready to serve to recombine.

Drizzle with reserved Teriyaki Glaze and Pineapple Sesame Dressing. Note: If your Teriyaki Sauce has become too thick to drizzle, simply whisk in some water to thin.
