  • Make the sesame ginger vinaigrette ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of salad greens. This will add flavor and texture to the salad.
  • Be generous with the dressing. The dressing is what will bring all of the flavors of the salad together.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the salad from wilting.
