Salad
- 3 ounces baby spinach
- 1 1/2 cups cooked wild rice (or brown rice)
- 1 cup canned mandarin oranges, drained (or clementines)
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- 33333333/100000000 cup dried cranberries Ginger-Soy Sauce
- 6 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil (such as grapeseed or avocado oil)
- 2 heaping tablespoons ginger, chopped
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium tamari
- 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
- 8 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 2 scallions, chopped (white and light green parts only)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the sauce by heating the oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the garlic, ginger, and scallion. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add the remaining water, tamari, and sugar to the pan. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced slightly and smells quite fragrant. Set aside.
- Step 2: Place the almonds in a dry frying pan over medium heat. Toast the nuts until they are golden brown and fragrant, about 4 to 6 minutes. Shake the pan often to avoid burning. Transfer to a bowl.
- Step 3: Combine all of the salad ingredients in a mixing bowl, including the toasted almonds.
- Serve: Pour in the warm sauce, to taste, and toss to coat. Enjoy.
