Serves 2 portions

2 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 ½ Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp ginger, grated
½ tsp garlic, grated
1 Tbsp roasted sesame oil
1½ tsp lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 tsp black sesame seeds
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

1 handful of parsley leaves or mixed herbs
100g mixed cherry red and golden tomatoes, halved
½ conference pears, peeled and sliced thinly into ½ cm pieces
2 Tbsp almond flakes, toasted
