This is fast & easy (& good!). Use the recipe as a template & then mix it up. I’ve used toasted sesame oil as opposed to a neutral oil; added dijion mustard to make a more classic vinaigrette while swapping sesame seeds for toasted, skin-on almonds; added some microplaned ginger to taste and swapped rice wine vinegar for lemon juice
