Sesame Ginger Greens

You can serve this as a salad or a cooked dish, depending on how mature your greens are. The dressing is great served over baby greens, or mild greens like mizuna, frills or tatsoi. If you have bigger, more mature greens you’ll want to saute or steam the greens briefly before adding the sauce. Add to a noodle or rice bowl with roasted root veggies and protein for a simple meal.

Ingredients

• 1 share CSA greens such as mizuna, arugula, or tatsoi
• 1 spoonful fresh grated ginger
• 1 clove minced garlic
• A couple of dashes of sesame oil
• A drizzle of soy sauce
• A sprinkle of red chile flakes
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

Directions

You can use any greens for this recipe but mizuna, arugula, tatsoi and spinach are especially nice. If they are available, snow peas and carrots make great additions as well.

Grate about 2 inches of fresh ginger. Mix together with a few cloves of minced garlic, a couple dashes of toasted sesame oil, a drizzle of soy sauce, a sprinkle of red chile flakes, and about 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar. Add to greens slowly, stopping to taste and adjust as needed. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.
