Sweet and Savory Asian Salad with Orange Sesame Dressing
Sweet and Savory Salad Ingredients:
6-8 cups of salad greens like spring mix, or baby greens
2 apples, peeled and diced
1 15 oz. can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup of sugar snap peas
1/2 English cucumber, sliced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced *optional
2 tbsp dried cranberries
Orange Sesame Dressing Ingredients:
4 tbsp tahini (sesame seed butter)
2 tbsp orange vinegar (or other fruit vinegar)
8 dates, pitted and chopped
1/3-1/2 cup water (as needed for consistency)
Dash of salt
1. Arrange salad ingredients into a large bowl.
2. Combine dressing ingredients in a blender or VitaMix and blend until smooth.
3. Serve and drizzle with dressing.
Additional Tips:
Use dressing within 3-4 days and store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Mix up your dressings by purchasing a few different types of fruit vinegars. Trader Joe's makes a few varieties and so does Dr. Fuhrman (sold on his website). Having a little variety makes creating different tasting dressings so easy.
