Ingredients
- ¼ red onion sliced lengthwise and soaked in ice cold water for 10 minutes.
- 1 head Romaine or green leaf lettuce finely shredded
- 1 Honeycrisp apple or Asian pear peeled, cored, and julienned
Spicy Dressing
- 2 cloves garlic finely minced

- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon gochugaru
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or other sweetener
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds plus more to sprinkle on top
Instructions
Prep Salad Ingredients
- Slice the red onion lengthwise into paper-thin crescents. Soak the slices in ice cold water for 10 minutes to take off some of the bite. Do this first so the onions can soak while you prep the remaining ingredients.
- Shred the lettuce. Make sure the lettuce is bone dry to the dressing coats it well. I use a salad spinner and then pat with a kitchen towel. Julienne the apples or pears. Place all of the salad vegetables in a large mixing bowl.
Make Salad
- Combine all of the dressing ingredients in small bowl.
- Drizzle dressing over salad vegetables. Toss until all of the vegetables are evenly well-coated. As I always say, your hands are the best tool here.
- Sprinkle finished salad with additional toasted sesame seeds if using.
