I decided I’d better make some comfort food salads instead of binge watching the news with Chocolate Chip Walnut Shortbread
This salad, dressing and all, only takes about 10 minutes to prepare
Don’t be alarmed by the number of dressing ingredients
You probably have everything in your pantry
The Sweet Sesame Dressing is adapted from Cafe Sucre de Farine here
My version is very mild, letting the salad ingredients shine, but you can add a heat element if you want it to be bolder
Chris is a fabulous cook and she also shared a tip to keep ginger paste in the freezer so it’s always on hand
The salad is a mix of chopped greens such as romaine and spinach, topped with chopped raw broccoli florets, unsalted sunflower seeds, sliced almonds and dried cranberries
You can add crispy bacon if you like, but you’re trying so hard to be good with this healthy salad 😇
