Equipment

  • whisk
  • measuring cups
  • Measuring Spoons
  • salad spinner
  • frying pan

Ingredients
  

Dressing Ingredients

  • ¼ cup soy sauce see notes
  • ¼ cup unseasoned rice vinegar see notes
  • ¼ cup peanut oil see notes
  • 1 T sesame seed oil
  • ¼ cup Monkfruit Sweetener

Salad Ingredients

  • 1 large heart Romaine lettuce torn apart, washed, and dried
  • 5 oz baby greens
  • ½ cup sliced sugar-snap peas
  • ½ cup matchstick carrots
  • ½ cup small slices of cucumber
  • 1 T toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut oil, sesame oil, and sweetener of your choice, or you can also shake ingredients together in a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Tear apart the Romaine heart, wash, and spin dry in salad spinner or dry with paper towels.
  • Cut cucumber into short thin strips, use pre-cut matchstick carrots or cut carrots into thin strips, and slice sugar-snap peas into short pieces. You need about ½ cup of each.
  • Toast sesame seeds in a dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes, just until they start to smell toasted. (Or buy pre-toasted sesame seeds and you can use them right from the jar.)
  • Put the washed Romaine and baby greens into a medium sized bowl and toss with enough dressing to coat all the greens (about 2-3 tablespoons dressing).
  • Arrange the dressed greens on individual salad plates or in bowls.
  • Top each salad with some sugar-snap peas, carrots, and cucumber, drizzle with a little more dressing as desired and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  • Serve immediately.
  • The dressing will stay good in the fridge for more than a week, but the oil will thicken so you'll need to let it come to room temperature.

Notes

Be sure to use Gluten-Free Soy Sauce if needed. Be sure not to use seasoned rice vinegar which contains sugar. If you can't use peanut oil or don't have any, use any neutral-flavored oil. I would use Monkfruit Sweetener for this recipe.
