Sesame Tomato Avocado Salad

This is an amazingly simple and delicious Asian style dish.  We saw this on a Japanese cooking show years ago and it was pared with a Japanese curry dish which we have also modified to be Paleo

  • PREP5 mins
  • CHILL20 mins
  • READY IN25 mins
Ingredients:
  • 1 tomato
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 tbps. sesame oil
  • 1 tbps. sesame seeds
  • 1 tbps. rice vinegar

Directions:
  1. Mix sesame oil, sesame seeds, rice vinegar together and set aside. 
  2. Cut tomato in 1/2 inch slices and avocado 1/2 inch slices place on large plate 
  3. Drizzle tomato and avocado with sesame oil mix and refrigerate  for 20-30 mins.
NOTE: Sesame seeds and sesame oil are avoided by some in the paleo community.  While they have some negatives in terms of omega-6 concentration and mild anti-inflammatory properties they also have decent nutrient density.  We recommend using these items in moderation and we try to keep our dishes with sesame to once a week.
