Asian Nicoise Salad with Ponzu Dressing
asian nicoise w/ bokchoy & curried sweet corn
– Arugula
– Blanched & drained bok choy (chopped)
– Julienned red bell peppers & Fuji apple
– Sliced cherry tomatoes
– Crispy leeks
– Tuna Salad (canned tuna – I really like American Tuna available at Whole Foods that’s pole-caught and hand-packed. It’s really moist and full of flavors in its natural juices and
albeit bit expensive at $5/can, it’s nothing like Starkist & totally worth it). (Mixed with chopped bell peppers, capers, veganaise, and sauteed fresh sweet corn in olive oil,
pat of Earth Balance butter, free of hydrogenated oil & preservative and a teaspoon of green curry paste).
– Asian ponzu dressing (ponzu sauce, lemon juice, garlic, walnut oil and agave). Whisk well, toss greens with dressing, assemble nicoise tower, sprinkle bell peppers, tomatoes and leeks and enjoy~
Made with two tablespoons of love; love for food, love for life.
