Sweet & Tart Ginger Chicken Salad (Pf Chang)

Submitted by marisk

"Found this on the PF Chang website. I'm hoping it's as tasty as the dishes I've tried at their restaurant. The agave nectar is a sweetener. Vegetable oil can be used if you don't have soy bean oil. The recipe doesn't say when to add the sesami oil; it might be part of the vinaigrette?"
