A delicious fusion of flavors, inspired by apples and peanut butter, featuring a fresh ginger carrot dressing and caramelized maple peanuts. This plant-based salad is a farmstand-fresh creation.
1. In a blender, combine all the dressing ingredients (fresh ginger, roughly chopped apple, roughly chopped carrot, garlic cloves, seasoned rice wine vinegar, olive oil, miso paste) and blend until smooth! Set aside.
2. Wash and dry your mixed greens and set aside.
3. In a small pan, add the chopped peanuts over medium heat. Cook for 1-2 minutes then add the maple syrup. It will start to bubble instantly. Stir to combine and then remove and place on a wax or parchment paper to cool. Sprinkle it with salt.
4. Build the salad by placing the beautiful lettuce in a bowl, top with sliced apples, sliced cucumber, carrot ribbons and that broken up hardened peanuts, top with dressing and dig in!
