Awhile back, at a farm dinner, I tried this 'poke inspired' tomato salad. I definitely had one of those 'now, why didn't I think of that' moments. The texture and sweet, rich, umami of a good, ripe tomato makes a lot of sense as an analogue to raw ahi. I came up with my own version here https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/956849-heirloom-tomato-poke

A couple of weeks later, I came across this recipe! https://cookpad.wasmer.app/us/recipes/915436-leek-and-tuna-salad-with-vinegar-and-miso-negi-to-magurono-nuta

I thought, if the poke worked well, that this vinaigrette, originally intended for tuna, would also go well with tomatoes.

It's been a popular dish in the office lately. Really easy to make, and a nice way to show off great tomatoes.

Steps

1

Combine first 6 ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix em up good.
2

Clean and dice your tomatoes. I prefer great big chunks for this salad.
3

Toss the tomatoes into the dressing and mix em up. A spatula works great for this.
4

Over medium heat, just wave the sheet of nori back and forth to sirta toast it. When it becomes a littlebit dry and brittle, fold it in 1/2 twice, hot dog style, so you have 4 long strips of nori.
5

Now, slice the nori into tiny strands. Use a sharp knife, or a pair of scissors if your knife skills are still lacking
