Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 pinch Salt

Instructions
Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly and drain well. Set the spinach aside.
In a small dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside for later use.
In a small bowl, combine sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the ingredients are well blended to create the dressing.
Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the sesame-soy dressing over the spinach and gently toss to coat all the leaves evenly.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the salad and toss again gently to distribute them.
Serve the sesame spinach salad immediately as a side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
