For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the sesame seeds in a dry pan before adding them to the oil. Feel free to substitute grilled chicken or rotisserie chicken for the cooked chicken. If you don't have radiatore pasta, any short pasta shape like penne or rotini will work well. This salad is even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop.
