 Ingredients

Garlic - Fresh garlic adds a bold, savory flavor. Finely grate or mince the cloves so they blend evenly throughout the salad.

Green Onions - Green onions add a mild onion flavor and a pop of fresh color. 

Soy Sauce -Soy sauce provides the salty, umami base for the dressing. 

Toasted Sesame Oil - A drizzle of toasted sesame oil gives the salad its signature nutty flavor.  It’s very flavorful, so a little goes a long ways.
