ingredients

For the Salad

1 head of romaine, shredded

1 heaping cup brussels sprouts, ends

removed, shredded

2 clementines or mandarin oranges,

separated

¾ cup toasted mixed nuts + seeds

(I used shaved almonds, cashews,

sesame seeds)

3 tbsp goji berries

Creamy Asian Dressing

2 tbsp cashew butter

3 tbsp toasted sesame oil

2½ tbsp grapeseed or olive oil

2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce

2 tbsp unseasoned rice wine vinegar

½ cup fresh orange or clementine

juice

1 tbsp maple syrup

1 clove garlic

1 tbsp fresh ginger

method

In a small food processor or blender,

add the garlic and ginger and pulse

to chop finely. Add the rest of the

dressing ingredients and blend for

30-40 seconds until smooth and

homogenous. Alternatively, finely

chop the garlic and ginger and

whisk thoroughly with the rest of

the ingredients.

In a large bowl, add the brussels sprouts,

romaine lettuce, clementines, toasted

nuts and goji berries. Drizzle with the

creamy Asian dressing and toss well

to coat.

Enjoy immediately.

Tip 2
For burgers, use
caramelized onions
and cashew cheese.
High maintenance,
but worth it.
