The sesame-ginger dressing on this salad is what makes it so delicious. Make sure to use toasted sesame oil for more flavour depth. I love adding some pomegranates to this salad for extra colour and freshness. However, they may be hard to find so using some dried cranberries is a good substitute. Enjoy this salad at any time of the year!
