recipe-img

Description

Beautiful Asian inspired, healthy green salad tossed in a simple ginger vinaigrette. Edamame and forbidden rice make it a great side dish or light main course.

Ingredient:

  • 1 inch nub of ginger, grated or finely chopped (grate it on a Microplane and you won’t have to peel it!)
  • 3 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup quality peanut oil, olive oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
  • 2 ½ teaspoons reduced-sodium tamari or soy sauce
  • ½ teaspoon agave nectar
  • big pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 big bunch watercress, very roughly chopped
  • 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 to 3 stalks of celery, thinly sliced and roughly chopped
  • ¼ cup green onion, chopped (include both white and green parts)
  • 1 ½ cups shelled edamame (I used frozen)
  • 1 ½ cups cooked forbidden rice or wild rice (use ¾ cup rice to 1 ½ cup water)
