- Total time
- Easy
- serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, stoned and diced
- ¼ cucumber, thinly sliced
- ½ small red onion, very thinly sliced
- 100g chunk watermelon, sliced or diced
- 1 small raw beetroot, peeled and thinly sliced (use a mandoline if you have one)
- 1 tbsp from a jar or packet pickled ginger
- 1 piece (about 150g) skinless salmon fillet, thinly sliced
- ½ tbsp black sesame seeds
dressing
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tsp caster sugar
Method
- STEP 1
Layer the avocado, cucumber, onion, melon, beetroot and pickled ginger on a serving dish or platter. Top with the salmon and sesame seeds.
- STEP 2
Whisk together all the dressing ingredients, then taste for balance – it shouldn’t need salt because of the soy sauce. Drizzle over the salad. Serve with a little jasmine rice or japanese crackers on the side if you like.
