Ice plant, with its crunchy, water-filled leaves and subtle salty flavor, is a refreshing favorite in summer. Here’s a simple yet delicious guide to making ice plant salad.
Ingredients: Fresh ice plant (200g), cherry tomatoes (50g), a small cucumber (50g, optional), 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp sugar, a pinch of chili flakes (optional), and toasted sesame seeds for garnish.
Steps:
1. Prepare the ice plant: Rinse the ice plant gently under cold water and drain. Pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. No need to cut—whole leaves work best for crunch.
2. Chop veggies: Halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the cucumber into thin rounds (if using).
3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and chili flakes (if desired) until the sugar dissolves.
4. Combine: Toss the ice plant, tomatoes, and cucumber in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over them and mix gently to coat every leaf.
5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Chill for 10 minutes before serving for an extra refreshing touch.
