Recipes >Asian Summer Garden Salad
   

Serves 4.

Salad:

Wash in-season garden greens (e.g., baby spinach, arugula), and red-leaf or dark leaf lettuce, (iceberg lettuce also works). Rip/cut lettuce into bite size sections. Cut cucumber width-length into very thin slices.

Juice a quarter lemon, and zest the skin of the mandarin orange (if using). Combine with other vinaigrette ingredients. Stir well.

Add sesame seeds, cucumber, and asian vinaigrette to salad. Toss. Garnish with seasonal fruit slivers (organic apples or mandarin oranges) and avocado (optional).

Enjoy!
