Many people may stay away from onion for salad, but this aromatic salad is a perfect dish especially on a hot summer day. You must give it a try! It also goes well with Japanese beer.

Steps

20 mins

1

Prepare a medium sized bowl and fill it with water.
2

Using a mandoline slicer, slice onion and add it to the bowl of water. This process is important and will get rid of sharpness of onion. After 5 minutes, take the onion slices out of water and place them in a large mixing bowl.
3

With a mandoline, slice carrot and celery into about 3 inches long strips. Place them in to the mixing bowl (without water) with onion.
4

To make dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk it well.
5

Pour dressing over sliced vegetables and mix it well. Serve it on to a plate and garnish with cilantro leaves and roasted sesame. It is best to be cooled in a refrigerator for at least 30 mins before serving.
