The sauce keeps in the fridge for about a week. Upon refrigeration, the oil may float up and solidify; simply let it thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before use.
Feel free to substitute with your favourite seasonal salad ingredients, such as corn, hard-boiled egg and carrot for the salad bowl.
Ingredients:
(A) Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups lettuce (romain, iceberg or assorted) leaves cut or torn to bite-sized
- half Japanese cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 tomato cut to six wedges; or 6 cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1 tbsp wakame soaked in a bowl of water for 5 minutes, drained and excess water squeezed out
- 2 tsp roasted sesame seeds
(B) Wafu Vinaigrette Dressing
- 2 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar may use apple cider vinegar
- 1 1/2 tbsp shoyu (light soy sauce)
- 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil/extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp ginger juice
- freshly cracked black pepper
Directions:

Love Japanese-style salad, especially this.
Oh, that sounds so yummy…
Haven’t visited for a while so I haven’t got a chance to tell you that I love the new look of your blog, and the logo! I’m redesigning my own at the moment so it is in a big mess at the moment ;)
Thank you! :) Your site is looking great already, can’t wait to see the finished look. Happy New Year!
Hi wiffy! This looks awesome! is the ginger juice necessary? Can I replace it with something else? Thank you :)
ginger juice improve the flavour of the salad and counters any strong seafood smell, but you may omit it if preferred. No need to substitute :)
So fresh, and crunchy! Love particularly the dressing.
Happy New Year, Wiffy!
