From the Test Kitchen

This vibrant salad gets deliciously rich, umami flavor from a dressing of nutty tahini, sweet orange marmalade, and savory soy sauce. It's perfectly balanced by a bounty of crisp vegetables (romaine, corn, carrots, and peppers) and a sprinkle of candied peanuts and sesame seeds.
