Ingredients
Method
- Begin by washing and drying all your vegetables.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red bell pepper, carrot, avocado, and red onion.
- In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together sesame oil, soy sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, toasted sesame seeds, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Ensure it's well combined.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving, to keep the greens crisp.
- Toss the salad gently ensuring every element gets a good coat of the dressing.
- Divide the salad among four plates and sprinkle with sesame seeds for an added crunch.
Notes
Tips:
1. Always dress your salad right before serving to prevent it from becoming soggy.
2. For an extra protein kick, consider adding grilled chicken or tofu cubes.
3. Toasted nuts like almonds or cashews can add a delightful crunch and depth of flavor.
4. If storing the salad for later, keep the dressing in a separate container.
