A refreshing and flavorful salad featuring toasted sesame seeds, a tangy ginger dressing, and vibrant cherry tomatoes.
Toast the sesame seeds in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until golden and aromatic.
Keep an eye on the sesame seeds as they can burn quickly. Stirring constantly ensures even toasting.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and grated ginger until well combined.
Use a fine grater for the ginger to ensure it blends smoothly into the dressing.
Add the toasted sesame seeds to the dressing and mix well.
Adding the sesame seeds to the dressing while still warm enhances the flavor.
In a large salad bowl, combine the salad greens and cherry tomatoes.
Ensure the salad greens are dry for the dressing to adhere better.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
Toss the salad just before serving to keep the greens crisp.
Serve the salad immediately and enjoy.
For a more vibrant presentation, garnish with additional toasted sesame seeds.
