Ice Plant, Cherry Tomato & Yuzu Salad
Aeroveg Ice Plant's frosted crunch meets sweet cherry tomatoes and a bright yuzu dressing — a no-cook salad ready in 15 minutes.
Aeroveg Ice Plant is unlike anything else in the salad bowl — its glistening, crystal-flecked leaves carry a natural salinity and a snap that needs almost nothing done to it. Here it's paired with sweet cherry tomatoes and a sharp yuzu dressing that lets that cool, briny crunch do the talking. No stove required.
Method
- Soak the onion. Place the sliced red onion in a small bowl of iced water for 10 minutes to mellow its bite, then drain and pat dry.
- Make the dressing. Whisk the yuzu juice, soy sauce, sesame oil and mirin in a small bowl until combined.
- Prepare the tomatoes. Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with a third of the dressing and let them sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
- Assemble. Arrange the Aeroveg Ice Plant on a serving plate, scatter over the tomatoes and drained onion, and add the tofu cubes if using.
- Dress and finish. Spoon over the remaining dressing just before serving and shower with toasted sesame seeds.
Aeroveg Ice Plant is naturally lightly saline, so taste before adding any extra salt — the dressing's soy is usually all this salad needs. Keep the leaves chilled until the last moment to preserve their signature icy crunch.
