SALAD C: Lettuce Salad with Soy-Vinaigrette Sauce
Ingredients
Fresh Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter Lettuce
- 1 cup Sliced Spring Onion (~2 forearm length pieces)
Soy-Vinaigrette Sauce
- 3 teaspoons Soy Sauce
- 2.5 teaspoons Vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- ½ teaspoon Honey
- 5 teaspoons Water
Instructions
- NOTE: This recipe produces enough for 2 people. For a family of 4, double the salad ingredients and for the sauce, use Tablespoon (rather than teaspoon).
- Throughly wash lettuce. Shake off excess water via a salad spinner or a pat-down dry with a few paper towels. Chop lettuce into bite-size pieces.
- Wash spring onion stalk (~2 forearm length pieces). Use your knife to slice the stalk in half. Separate each layer and stack the layers on top of each other. Then julienne into thin strips. Fill a mixing bowl with cold water. Then let it soak for 10 minutes (it gets rid of the harsh onion flavor)
- After 10 minutes, drain via a strainer and let the pieces drip off excess water (we don't want too much water on them!)
- Make Sauce by mixing: Soy Sauce (3 teaspoons), Vinegar (2.5 teaspoon), Sugar (1 teaspoon), Honey (½ teaspoon), Water (5 teaspoons).
Notes
NOTE: Pour-in the salad dressing and toss the salad right before you begin to eat. If you make it too early and let it sit out, the lettuce will wilt and look unappetizing.
