Shrimp Salad With Sesame-Ginger Dressing Recipe

"Give in to the convenience of already poached shrimp in this bright main-dish salad, perfect for lunch or a light dinner The core is easy and uncomplicated: Fresh ginger and chiles are married with sesame seeds and oil in a tangy vinaigrette for tender shrimp, crisp cucumbers and a bed of peppery arugula It’s decidedly unfussy and very easily adaptable — add scoops of avocado or soft-boiled eggs for extra richness or simply serve with buttered toast and make open-faced sandwiches..."
