SALAD INGREDIENTS

  • 5 ounces cups mixed greens (or greens of choice)
  • 1 handful micro greens (optional)
  • 2 persimmons, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
  • Fresh cracked pepper, to taste
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

SESAME-GINGER DRESSING INGREDIENTS

  • 12 tablespoons fresh minced ginger or ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoons light oil, such as grapeseed
  • 3 tablespoons mirin or rice cooking wine
  • 1 tablespoon unfiltered, organic honey, such as Appalachian Bee’s Wildflower Honey
  • 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon or orange juice

Instructions

  1. Whisk the Sesame-Ginger Dressing ingredients in a small bowl until well combined. Divide dry ingredients between two bowls  and toss in the Sesame-Ginger Dressing or your favorite Asian-inspired salad dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

  • We love ginger at our house so I use two generous tablespoons of it in the Sesame-Ginger Dressing, but we’re not big on sesame oil so I scale back and add an equal amount of grapeseed oil for a more delicate flavor. Play with the measurements according to your preferences.
  • Bulk up your salad with protein – edamame, chicken, salmon and shrimp are all delicious options.
