1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons tahini or peanut butter
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1/2 cup sesame oil
6 cups mixed mesclun greens, soaked in salt water to remove grit, dried in a salad spinner and torn into bite sized pieces
1 cup baby corn from a jar or can
1 (8-ounce) can Mandarin orange segments, drained
