Tiger vegetable salad

2 small handfuls, about 2 ounces, cilantro sprigs, coarsely chopped
2 stalks Chinese celery , diagonally sliced into long segments
4 green onions, white part only, halved and then cut vertically into matchsticks
2 inch 5 cm piece red longhorn pepper, thinly sliced
2 inch 5 cm piece green longhorn pepper, thinly sliced
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Add the cilantro, celery, green onions, and peppers to a bowl and toss to combine. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the salt, sugar, vinegar, and sesame oil to create the dressing. 
  • Pour the dressing over the vegetables. Toss to combine and serve.

NOTES

Leafy Chinese celery, which is skinnier, not as watery, and twice as flavorful, is preferred here, but you can use conventional celery if you can’t get your hands on it.
