Finished with a sprinkle of nutty white sesame seeds, this salad is perfect as a light side or a standalone meal. Quick to prepare and bursting with fresh flavors, it’s an ideal choice for busy weeknights or a nutritious addition to any spread. Enjoy the perfect balance of texture and taste in every forkful!
