Easy Asian Salad Recipe (Video)

This quick and easy Asian salad is simple, light and flavorful. Healthy crunchy veggies make a fantastic base for our tangy dressing with Asian flavors of sesame, soy, honey and lemon juice. The best part is you can make this salad ahead of time as it only gets better when marinated.

I love making salads that I can make ahead of time. In fact, quite a few of the salad I have shared with you like, carrot, celery, cabbage, and tomato can all be made ahead of time.

Almost every time I have guests over for dinner, I like making this Asian salad. Because, it always gets everybody talking and enjoying a salad. This one does not have droopy veggies like cucumber and tomatoes that need to be used up immediately. Which means I can also make it ahead of time.

Ingredients and substitutes

• Veggies - I like using cabbage, carrots, celery, and lettuce, which can be kept for long.
• Green onions - Add a slightly pungent flavor, but you can certainly omit it.
• Mirin - Is a Japanese sweet sauce. But, you can certainly use honey instead.
• Rice wine vinegar - Gives a subtle vinegar flavor, and yet you can certainly use lemon juice as well.

How to make an easy Asian salad (save/pin)

• In a mason jar, combine all the dressing ingredients.
• Give it a good shake and set aside.
• In a bowl, combine all the veggies and nuts.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour the salad dressing over the veggies.
• Use a fork to ensure everything is well combined.
• Transfer to a salad bowl and sprinkle with more toasted sesame seeds.
• Enjoy!
