Salad with Sesame-Orange Dressing
Recipe Introduction
This recipe, like most of my recipes has been adapted from some other recipe--origin unknown.
The dressing on this salad is one of the FEW low fat /no fat foods that I can say I really like.
Slivered water chestnuts can be used in place of the jacama.
List of Ingredients
- Mixed Salad Greens
- Orange Pieces
- Sliced Green Onions
- Grated Jicama (a root vegetable from Mexico)
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
- 1 Tbs. honey
- 1 tea. white vinegar
- 1 tea. dark sesame oil
- 2 tea. grated fresh ginger (or to taste) I use more
- 1 tea. low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 tea. toasted sesame seeds (regular or black)
Instructions
- For the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients making sure the honey is well blended. This will keep in the refrigerator for 3 or 4 days and makes about 1/2 cup.
Final Comments
You can make this a MAIN DISH SALAD by adding strips of mustard glazed chicken breast to the greens.
