Ingredients
- ¼ cup of olive oil
- ¼ cup sesame seeds
- ½ cup white vinegar
- ⅓ cup teriyaki sauce
- ½ teaspoon of black pepper
- 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
- ¼ teaspoon of freshly minced ginger root
- 4 teaspoons of granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (like Splenda®)
- 3 stalks of celery
- 4 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 carrots, sliced into matchsticks (Optional)
- 1 yellow bell pepper, thinly sliced (Optional)
- 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced (Optional)
- 1 small white onion, thinly sliced (Optional)
Step 1
Begin by gently warming the olive oil in a small saucepan on medium heat until it shimmers. Add the sesame seeds and sauté until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which usually takes around 3 minutes. Transfer this fragrant mix to a sturdy metal mixing bowl and allow it to cool down to room temperature.
Step 2
Next, let's create the flavorful dressing by combining vinegar, teriyaki sauce, a hint of black pepper, a touch of red pepper flakes for some heat, freshly grated ginger root, and a touch of natural sweetener to balance the flavors. Stir this mixture into the sesame seeds, creating a harmonious blend of flavors.
Step 3
Then, add in the crunch of celery, the freshness of green onions, the sweetness of carrots, the vibrant color of bell peppers, the coolness of cucumber, and the pungency of onions to the sesame dressing. Mix everything gently until all the veggies are evenly coated with the dressing.
Step 4
For the best results, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator until it's refreshingly cold. This step allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, making every bite a delightful experience. Serve this crunchy and flavorful salad as a refreshing side dish or a light meal.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your fresh veggies crisp by storing them in a breathable produce bag in the crisper drawer of your fridge.
- 2. For extra flavor, store herbs like basil and cilantro in a glass of water on the counter, just like a bouquet of flowers.
