Pacific Rim Steak Salad with Sweet-and-Sour Dressing

• 1/2 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
• 3/4 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons Chinese sweet-and-sour sauce (lowest sodium available)
• 1/8 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
• 4 ounces romaine or lettuce blend with romaine, torn into bite-size pieces (about 4 cups)
• 8 ounces flank steak cooked without salt (such as from Pacific Rim Flank Steak), thinly sliced on the diagonal, warmed if desired
• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks or pineapple chunks canned in their own juice, drained
• 1/2 large red bell pepper, sliced lengthwise
• 2 medium crosswise slices of red onion, separated into rings

1. Cook the edamame using the package directions, omitting the salt.
2. Drain well in a colander.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the pineapple juice, sweet-and-sour sauce, and oil.
4. Set aside.
5. Arrange the lettuce on plates.
6. Top with the edamame and remaining ingredients.
7. Pour 2 tablespoons dressing over each serving.
8. Sesame oil comes from sesame seeds; the darker variety of oil, often called toasted sesame oil, is made from toasted sesame seeds and has a more robust flavor and aroma than regular sesame oil.
9. It takes only a small amount of toasted sesame oil to add a lot of flavor.
