Healthy Fresh Spring Salad with Soy Ginger Dressing

Spring is a great time of year to enjoy fresh produce and salad greens. Eating a raw salad loaded with nutrients, vitamins and essential minerals is a healthy way to satisfy any appetite.

Select your favorite salad greens and early spring vegetables (even late winter vegetables are fantastic) and create a colorful, tasty salad that you can enjoy as a whole meal for lunch or dinner. Pair it with some fresh grilled chicken breast of fish and you have a really great feast.

Soy Ginger Dressing

2 clove Garlic finely diced and mashed (you can use a garlic press)

1 inch piece Ginger peeled and finely diced and mashed

2 TBS Peanut or Olive oil

1 tsp. Sesame Oil

2 TBS Soy Sauce or Tamari Soy Sauce

Sriracha Pepper Sauce to taste, I like alot

4 TBS Rice Wine Vinegar

2 TBS Korean Bulgogi Marinade Sauce (optional) or Teriyaki Sauce will work too

Pick a large, pretty Asian bowl and arrange the salad ingredients in a colorful feast for the eye. Drizzle a few teaspoons of the dressing over the salad.  I also squirt Sriracha Sauce all over the salad too. I like it hot and spicy. Enjoy!
