About This Recipe:
Roasted sesame dressing is the best part of the salads at most Japanese restaurants. The dressing has so much flavor from toasting the sesame seeds, which brings out a strong, nutty flavor. I decided to use the sesame dressing in a shroom grain bowl, with sautéd kale and barley. But his would also be great over Romaine lettuce, shredded carrots, and tomatoes for a simple side salad like at a Japanese restaurant.
Enjoy!
