For a richer flavor, toast the sesame seeds lightly before adding them to the salad. Adjust the amount of serrano peppers to your spice preference. This salad is delicious with grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Make it ahead: The salad can be made a day in advance. Just add the green onions right before serving to maintain their freshness. Use other vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, shredded cabbage, or edamame.
