Let’s Get Cooking!
Alright, my culinary warriors, it’s time to toss together this beauty:
- In a large bowl, combine the watercress, diced avocado, cucumber slices, and cherry tomatoes. Gently toss to mix without mashing the avocado. We want it to keep its gorgeous form!
- Now, let’s whip up that zesty wasabi dressing! In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, honey, and sesame oil until smooth. If it’s too thick, just add a teaspoon or two of water to get that perfect pourable consistency.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and give it a gentle toss to coat every lovely leaf and vibrant veggie.
- Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you’re feeling fancy, do a little dance while you sprinkle!
- Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing wave of flavor that comes crashing into your taste buds. Whether it’s a side dish or a fancy meal, this salad is sure to impress!
So there you have it, folks! A salad so good, you’ll practically be bowing down to the wasabi gods. Bon appétit!
