Japanese Avocado Salad
Ingredients
- 4 perfectly ripe avocados
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup plus 1 tablespoon Iio Jozo Pure Premium Rice Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Yamaki Jozo Organic Soy Sauce
- 1 tablespoon Wadaman Dark Roasted Golden Sesame Oil
- Pinch of Yamatsu Tsujita Shichimi Togarashi
- 1 sheet of Motoi Nori Zenkei (Full Sheet) Nori
Instructions
- Begin by halving the avocados and removing the seeds. Slice each half in half lengthwise, and then make 2 cuts crosswise to yield 6 large chunks from each avocado half. Place the avocado pieces into a bowl and sprinkle them with the sea salt.
- In another bowl, combine the Iio Jozo Pure Premium Rice Vinegar, Yamaki Jozo Organic Soy Sauce, and Wadaman Dark Roasted Golden Sesame Oil. Whisk the ingredients together to create a flavorful dressing.
- Pour some of the dressing over the avocados, then sprinkle on a pinch of Yamatsu Tsujita Shichimi Togarashi for a delightful hint of heat. Toss the avocado and dressing together until they are well-coated. Taste for seasoning and adjust if necessary.
- To plate the salad, fan out the sliced avocados on a serving platter for an exquisite presentation.
- Garnish the salad with crumbled Motoi Nori Zenkei (Full Sheet) Nori by gently crumbling it in your hands. This adds a delightful touch of umami and visual appeal.
