Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 1 salad 3-4 dressing servings
 
Ingredients
  • Asian Salad:
  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped Bartlett pear
  • ¼ cup wasabi almonds (I got mine at Trader Joe's)
  • ½ cup chopped purple carrots
  • 6-8 snow pea pods
  • 2-3 cups leafy greens of your choice.
  • Citrus Sesame Dressing:
  • Juice of 2 small lemons
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbs cream cheese or mayo (vegan of course)
  • ½ tbs sriracha
  • 1 lg clove of garlic, minced
  • 1 tbs apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbs olive oil
  • 3 drops liquid smoke
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
Instructions
  1. For salad, assemble with lettuce on bottom and other ingredients on top.
  2. For dressing, combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk vigorously until everything is combined and the dressing is smooth. You could also use a mini blender like a bullet for this; I just used old fashioned elbow grease.
  3. Pour some dressing on salad and enjoy. The dressing recipe makes much more than for 1 salad, so get creative with the leftovers!
