This bright, refreshing dressing gets extra kick from slightly salty pickled plum paste. It livens up any salad, but we particularly like it served over crunchy vegetables for an updated summer slaw.
Yield: about 4 servings
Active Time: 5 minutes
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 teaspoons umeboshi paste
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Thinly sliced red cabbage
Green beans or sugar snap peas
Blueberries
Blend sesame seeds and umeboshi paste in a high-speed blender. Add in orange juice, lemon juice, and sesame oil. Blend until incorporated. Toss together salad ingredients, then drizzle dressing over salad.
