Ribbon Vegetable Salad
with Chili-Sesame Dressing
Made with fresh, raw vegetables thinly shaved and tossed in a sesame-chili dressing, this side is quick, delicious, and healthy.
Servings: 2-4
Ingredients:
Dressing:
2 T rice wine vinegar
2 T sweet red chili sauce
1/2 T toasted sesame oil
1/4 t garlic powder
salt to taste (I use 1/4 t)
pepper to taste (I use 4 grinds)
Vegetables:
1 medium zucchini
1 medium yellow squash
1 small red bell pepper
2 carrots
2 green onions
Toppings:
2 t toasted sesame seeds
1/4 c chopped peanuts
Directions:
1. Make the dressing by adding all dressing ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Whisk to blend well.
2. Cut all the vegetables except the green onions in half length-wise. Create ribbons by shaving with a vegetable peeler into thin slices. Add shaved vegetables to the bowl on top of the dressing.
3. Thinly slice green onions at a slight diagonal. Add these to the bowl.
4. Add Sesame seeds, and peanuts to the bowl.
5. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing. Serve immediately.
Notes:
* This is a perfect alternative to a green salad.
* It pairs well with this pizza - Banh Mi Pizza
* Turn this into a quick meal for two: split into two shallow bowls and top with rotisserie chicken.
