This vibrant green salad is crunchy, creamy, lightly spicy, and easy to make. Crispy baked rice adds the perfect crunch and bulk to the salad, but the Sesame Oil and Thai Lemongrass Mint Balsamic dressing steals the show. Add whatever veggies you have on hand to up the nutrients and fibre in this delicious bowl!

This sounds very good, yoru sesame oil really is the best I have ever tried. You don’t need very much at all, it is so flavourful. Will let you know how this recipe goes!
