Instructions
Prepare the dressing:
- Add all of the ingredients for the dressing to a small bowl and whisk well to combine. Add more water to thin the dressing out if necessary, or do as I do and leave it thick. Note: If you have a small blender such as a magic bullet, you can use it to blend up the dressing.

- Add your desired amount of dressing and use salad tongs or two large wooden spoons to toss everything together.
- Serve salad immediately, and enjoy!
Notes
*If using soy sauce or liquid aminos, also add 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup or brown sugar to add sweetness to the dressing. Be sure to use a low-sodium soy sauce so that the dressing doesn’t turn out too salty.
