Instead of toasting the sesame seeds, use 1 teaspoon oil in the marinade. Omit the sesame seed preparation in step 3.

Great Pairings

Poppy Seed Dressing with Salad Greens

Olive oil has a lot of flavor, especially extra virgin but at a price. Canola, peanut or plain vegetable oil makes a lighter and tasty base for this salad dressing, and will cost a fraction of what olive oil costs.
