How to cook Ginger Jeweled Salad Recipe
Ginger salad recipe Ingredients
1 tablespoon fresh ginger juice, made by grating a 4-5-inch piece
of ginger into a pile and then pressing it against a strainer to extract
the ginger juice
2 tablespoons white wine or Champagne vinegar
fine grain sea salt
1/2 teaspoon jalapeno, very finely chopped
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2/3 cup dried figs, stems trimmed, quartered
1/3 cup dried pluots, chopped
1/2 cup toasted hazelnuts, loosely chopped
1 1/3 cup cooked wild rice, room temperature
5 big handfuls of leafy salad greens (see headnotes), washed and dried
In a mason jar or medium bowl make the ginger vinaigrette by whisking
together the ginger juice, vinegar, jalapeno, and a couple big pinches
of salt. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the jar whisking all the
while. Stop when the dressing takes on a slightly creamy appearance.
Taste and adjust the flavors if needed. Set aside.
Hold off dressing the salad until just before you are ready to serve
it. This will help to keep the lettuce vibrant and lively. In a large
bowl toss the figs, pluots, hazelnuts and wild rice with a generous
splash of the dressing. Once they are nicely coated, add the lettuce,
a bit more vinaigrette, and a pinch of salt. Gently toss until the
lettuce is evenly coated. Taste and adjust if needed. The little bits
of fruit and nuts tend to fall to the bottom of the bowl, so before
serving scoop them back up from the bottom so you end up with plenty
of rice and fruit on top.
Serves about 6.
