Sesame Ginger Pea Salad

• Sesame ginger dressing
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon mirin
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 3 tablespoons neutral salad oil
• 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
• Salad
• 3 cups fresh spring peas, shelled
• 1 cup halved cherry or grape tomatos, drained with cut sides on paper towels for 10 minutes or so
• 1/2 cup crumbled ricotta salata cheese
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

1. Whisk all ingredients together. Set aside.
2. Steam peas over boiling water until barely tender, about 2 minutes, and shock in ice water.
3. Combine peas, tomatos and ricotta salata. Toss gently with dressing (whisk dressing again just before you pour it on).
4. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds.
5. (Note: You can also add diced carrots, steamed along with the peas, to this, if you want additional taste/texture/color contrast.)
