My friend soma introduced me to this totally awesome salad dressing. She put oranges in it, and I’ve been making it ever since i had it the first time.
You require:
Sesame seed vinaigrette. this is described on the website for it as a “Japanese wafu style dressing” A lot of stores run out of this stuff pretty fast, they say its from Italy BUT ITS FROM CONCORD ONTARIO , so they like to tell lies. Anyways, one Asian grocery store around here has it, and if they ever run out I found a recipe to make it here: http://www.recipezaar.com/28865
Salad. Baby romaine is awesome, but if you don’t use enough it can be bitter if you don’t compensate with enough dressing. There are other mixes that have a combination of interesting stuff. Don’t use lettuce, it lames it up.
NUTS. Soma and Alex used weed seeds. hehe I put in some pistachios. You can put in anything pretty much, I think sunflower seeds might taste interesting.
Fruits. I’ve made this with grapefruit, You can use strawberries, and lately I’ve been using honey tangerines. I think this is what soma used when she made it that time. The salad dressing tastes really good with fruit in it. But some peeps don’t like the fruit part. (Andrew is the only one I know that doesn’t like the tangerine in it)
Vegetable. I just put cucumber in this one, but if you want to be pro you can put in tomatoes and red pepper as well. Also grated carrots would make it look awesome.
Wash your salad thoroughly. If you get the one the comes in the box wash it real well cause they put lots of preservative or pesticide or whatever in it and it tastes like soap if you don’t.
Cut the fruit up into little pieces and put the dressing on. Then sprinkle NUTS on top. The only thing to be wary of is not to put dressing on til right before you eat/serve it. This particular dressing becomes watery pretty fast so you can’t leave it sitting around. Here’s what it looks like:
The dressing looks weird but its like heroine.
