Use this recipe as a guide, not dogma. Vary the ingredients according to what you have in the garden, but definitely follow the instructions on frying the okra. It makes a huge difference.

Instructions
- Mix the shallot with the cider vinegar and allow to sit at room temperature. Doing this first slightly pickles the shallot and removes that raw onion taste.
- While you are slicing the okra, heat the oil to 325°F. Fry 1/3 of the okra at a time, for about 3 minutes per batch. Set on paper towels when each batch is done and salt immediately. When you are done, remove the oil from the heat and set the okra aside.
- Add all the ingredients except the sesame seeds and mix well in a large bowl. Serve everyone some and top with the sesame seeds.
