Some of the most vibrant food to prepare can be the simplest and my highly impressive summer salad of salmon sashimi, creamy avocado, rocket, coriander and toasted sesame seeds is a perfect example. The whole salad is brought together with a pale green dressing humming with heat from wasabi paste, a Japanese staple ingredient made from Japanese horseradish, often used as a garnish served with sushi. It makes for an incredibly light and bright salad and makes an ideal treat if you’re dining solo as it is simple to prepare.
