- Rice vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic, sesame oil, and sesame seeds should be mixed together in a jar or basin of comparable size.
- The salad should be dressed with the dressing. Mix everything together by hand until everything is completely coated with the dressing. Allow it to sit undisturbed for ten to fifteen minutes so that the flavors can take effect.
