Instructions

  1. Combine the pickled shallots, lemon juice, sugar, and season with salt in a small bowl. Let them macerate for 30 minutes.
  2. To make the dressing, whisk together the dressing ingredients until fully combined and smooth. This simple step highlights how homemade salad dressings can bring life to simple fresh greens.
  3. Make sure to wash your greens and pat dry (you may use a salad spinner if you have one). Arrange the vibrant green leaves on a platter or a large bowl of your choice, let your creativity flow.
  4. Drizzle the dressing over the salad, reserving the remaining dressing to serve on the side or to adjust flavors to taste. Top with pickled shallots and green onions, sprinkle the sesame seeds and serve with lime wedges.
