Ingredients

Scale

Salad Ingredients

  • 8 rice paper wrappers
  • 4 cups mixed greens (romaine, butter lettuce, spinach mix)
  • 1 cup julienned carrots
  • 1 cup cucumber sticks
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 cup bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup shredded cooked chicken or smoked turkey slices (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts or cashews
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (vegetal) (optional)

Ginger Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry the mixed greens thoroughly. Julienne the carrots and cucumber into thin, uniform strips. Roughly chop the mint and cilantro. Rinse and drain the bean sprouts well.
  2. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper wrapper briefly, about 5 seconds, to soften. Place on a clean surface and tear or cut into bite-sized pieces for easy mixing into the salad.
  3. Make the Ginger Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, and soy sauce until well combined and fragrant. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Assemble the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens, softened rice paper pieces, julienned carrots and cucumber, chopped herbs, bean sprouts, and protein if using. Drizzle the ginger dressing evenly over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped peanuts or cashews and shredded mozzarella cheese (vegetal) on top if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest texture and flavors.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated ginger for maximum flavor.
  • Do not over-soften rice paper to avoid sogginess.
