Trader Joes used to have an orange muscat champagne vinegar that my family loves. My mom would then use that vinegar to make these delicious pickled tomatoes that would pop with so much flavor! A burst of bright sweetness and refreshing sourness. However, TJ discontinued the product… But it’s ok because we can still make something similar! This dish is super easy to make but makes such a great starter or side for any meal!

Do you know what furikake is? It’s a savory-sweet condiment consisting of sesame seeds, dried fish flakes, nori seaweed, and potentially so much more (depending on what type of furikake you have)! It’s salty yet sweet and is typically sprinkled over rice to make it taste even more delicious. However, in this case, we sprinkle it over chex mix! The furikake adds such a nice savory umami to the snack which elevates it to another level. It originated in Hawaii and is a quintessential Japanese-American fusion snack. Once you grab a handful, it’s hard to stop eating it!
