To Cut the Ingredients

To Make the Dressing
- Grind 1 Tbsp toasted white sesame seeds with a mortar and pestle. Leave some sesame seeds unground for texture.
- In a small mason jar or bowl, combine 3 Tbsp ponzu, 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil.
- Add the ground sesame seeds and mix everything together.
To Assemble
- In a large salad bowl, put the mizuna, shiso, and myoga. Sprinkle with some sesame seeds, if you‘d like. Shake the dressing, drizzle it over the salad, and toss well. Enjoy!
