    I made an individual salad to try it. Only used 2 t ponzu, 1t sriracha, 1 sesame oil & 1/2 tsp sugar. This is easy to throw together and truly delicious. It’s a keeper.

    I flexed the recipe and added cucumber and leftover grilled corn to my really excellent summer tomatoes. I thought 1 cup pinto was too much and next time I’ll use 1/2 cup and stir it occasionally while I’m preparing the rest of the meal. I look forward to enjoying this easy and umami-rich salad all summer.

    We all thought this was extremely good. I used my extra ponzu on shaved raw zucchini and that was also delicious.

    I liked it a lot but there was way too much dressing. It won't replace my favorite Asian tomato salad which, like Frenchfoodie's, includes cilantro and fish sauce. It's Melissa Clark's recipe and also includes sesame oil.

    I liked this though didn’t find it spicy and there was about 2x the dressing needed. Nice and quick and zingy though. Won’t replace my favourite tomato salad (ginger, chilli, coriander, fish sauce) but a decent one for the repertoire.

    I enjoyed the way the dressing tasted on its own but somehow thought it clashed with the tomatoes. It was like I became unpleasantly aware of the sesame oil everytime I bit into tomato and I love sesame so that shouldn't have happened. I also didn't think it was at all spicy (sriracha was my hot sauce of choice.) Maybe a bit more of a kick would have balanced it out. Double sriracha next time.

    The dressing for this salad is so good I could drink it. I will make this again and a again.
