Wickedly delicious! Slightly spicy from the ginger, a little sweet-and-sour from the citrus and honey, with added umiami flavors from garlic and soy sauce. Enjoy this dressing on romaine or butterhead lettuces, fresh spinach leaves, or any favorite salad greens. Or try it on steamed broccoli.
Dressing:
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 4 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- large pinch white pepper
- 1/2 cup canola or safflower or avocado oil
Salad Ingredients:
- 2 small or 1 large head of lettuce, torn into bite-sized pieces
- 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
- 1 large orange, peeled and cut into segments
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, toasted or use roasted peanuts
Combine dressing ingredients, whisking oil in thoroughly. Put lettuce in salad bowl, add cilantro and arrange orange slices over lettuce. Sprinkle the salad with sunflower seeds or peanuts. Whisk the dressing again to be sure it is well combined. Pour over salad, toss and serve.
