In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, whisk together the toasted sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey, fresh lime juice, and freshly grated ginger. Seal the jar and shake vigorously until the dressing is emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. (5 minutes)

For each serving, place a portion of the salad mixture in a bowl. Drizzle generously with the sesame ginger dressing. (2 minutes)

Step

Garnish with a sprinkle of roasted peanuts for added crunch and flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy! (1 minute)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a touch of heat.
If you don't have rice wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar can be used as a substitute.
Toasted sesame seeds can be used in addition to, or instead of, the peanuts for garnish.
The dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Be sure to shake well before using.
Feel free to experiment with other vegetables in the salad, such as shredded carrots, cucumbers, or edamame.
