Tangy Pickled Veggie Salad

Ingredients 0/13

Step 1

Warm the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Toss in the sesame seeds and cook them, stirring often, until they turn a nice golden brown—this should take about 3 minutes. Once done, transfer the seeds to a bowl and let them cool down to room temperature.

Step 2

Whisk together the vinegar, teriyaki sauce, black pepper, red pepper flakes, grated ginger, and your choice of sweetener right into the bowl with the sesame seeds. Give it a good mix to combine all those flavors.

Step 3

Now, add the chopped celery, green onions, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, and onion to the dressing. Toss everything gently so the veggies get fully coated in the tangy dressing.

Step 4

Cover the bowl and pop it into the fridge for a bit to let the flavors meld and the salad chill before you serve. Enjoy!
