A sesame-ginger dressing for a zesty, Asian-inspired flavor. The Greek yogurt adds creaminess to balance the sesame oil and ginger.

Preparation
Grill the chicken: Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat. Lightly season the chicken breast (3 oz) with salt and pepper. Grill the chicken for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F/74°C). Remove from heat, allow it to rest briefly, and then slice or dice into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté broccolini: While the chicken rests, heat the sesame oil (½ tsp) in the pan over medium heat and sauté the broccolini (⅓ cup) until tender. Set aside.
Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil (1 tsp), grated ginger (½ tsp), soy sauce (1 tsp), rice vinegar (1 tsp), and plain Greek yogurt (1 ½ Tbsp) to create the sesame-ginger dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine and serve: In a large bowl, combine the grilled chicken (3 oz), sautéed broccolini, chopped cilantro (2 Tbsp), toasted sunflower seeds (2 Tbsp), shredded red cabbage (¼ cup), shredded carrot (¼ cup), and baby spinach (⅓ cup.) Drizzle the sesame-ginger dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Serve immediately and garnish with extra sunflower seeds or cilantro if desired.
Over the years there have been many risk calculators for cardiovascular disease. Which of them works best? The answer is… none of them.
