Tomato-Sherry Vinaigrette, Sesame Seed, Maldon Salt
Chef Christian Truong of Si! Mon | Venice, CA
“This dish is fresh and cool: perfect for a hot summer day. The Sherry Vinegar from Spain vinaigrette is a perfect balance between being bold from the extra virgin olive oil and fish sauce, but also bright and acidic from the Sherry Vinegar from Spain and lemon zest. Enjoy this dish with a glass of sparkling natural wine!” — Chef Christian Truong
