Black Pearl Tomato Salad (Wood Ear Mushroom)

20250131 #breakfastdiary 1299, -5/cloudy Other recipes using wood ear mushroom tend to be more heavily seasoned, but since this is breakfast, I figured a lighter, lower-resolution dressing would work better. It seems more suited to summer, but surprisingly it doesn't feel out of place even on a snowy day like today. Fighting cold with cold, I guess?
