Ingredients
- 200g mixed seafood (such as shrimp, squid, and scallops)
- 2 cups mixed salad greens (spinach, arugula, and lettuce)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 cucumber, julienned

- In a large bowl, combine the salad greens, sliced red bell pepper, and julienned cucumber. This colorful mix will make the base of our salad.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar to create a zesty dressing. Adjust the flavors to your liking.
- Add the cooked seafood to the bowl of greens and vegetables. Pour the dressing over the top and toss gently to combine, being careful not to break the seafood apart.
- Lastly, fold in the chopped cilantro, mint, and sliced chili for an extra kick. Serve immediately topped with toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.
