Summer Salad with Asian Strawberry Poppy Seed Vinaigrette
Crafted with ease and taste in mind, this recipe is a great choice.
Ingredients
Ingredients for the vinaigrette:
- 1 clove garlic minced, fresh
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons ginger finely chopped, fresh
- 3 tablespoons strawberry jam I use my Strawberry Freezer Jam, good quality, or preserves
- 1 teaspoon sriracha chili sauce
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
- ½ cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- salt to taste, sea salt and freshly ground
- black pepper to taste, sea salt and freshly ground
Ingredients for the salad:
- 3-4 sweet corn kernels removed, ears, fresh
- ½ pound Green bean haricot verts, thinly sliced on a long diagonal, super thin
- 2 parsnip julienned, medium
- 2 carrot julienned, medium
- 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced vertically, medium
Instructions
- Directions:
- For the vinaigrette, combine all ingredients in a glass jar. Shake well.
- Combine all salad ingredients in a large bowl. Divide between six salad plates. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Pass extra dressing at the table.
Notes
- Notes: I use the small vegetable peeler/julienner for of these and it works fantastic. Keep the carrots and parsnips long, don't try to cut them before julienning. If you cut them, it makes the job very difficult.
