CSA Salad Recipes

The beginning of the CSA season always brings a LOT of greens! It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with salads. One of our CSA member recommends a sesame-ginger dressing to inspire you. Here are some of her favorite combos, and a recipe for the dressing!

Sesame-Ginger Dressing

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (or sub coconut aminos)

  • 2-3 tablespoons rice vinegar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup

  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

  • 1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger

  • Optional if you want a creamy dressing: add 1 tablespoon tahini or cashew butter

Make the dressing by whisking together the following in a medium bowl or shaking in a mason jar: sesame oil, olive oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and fresh ginger. If you want a creamier dressing, add in a tablespoon of tahini or cashew butter.
