Sesame Spinach Salad
This is one of my favourites because its flavours are exotic yet still very familiar and comforting.
Ingredients
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 lemon, zest and juice
4 handfuls baby spinach leaves
1 handful bean sprouts
1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
a few sheets nori seaweed, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon tahini (sesame paste)
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 lemon, zest and juice
4 handfuls baby spinach leaves
1 handful bean sprouts
1 small Red Onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
a few sheets nori seaweed, thinly sliced
Instructions
In the bottom of a festive salad bowl whisk together the sesame oil, tahini, soy sauce and lemon zest and juice. Toss with the spinach leaves, bean sprouts, red onion, sesame seeds, and the sliced nori.

Variation
For an even more Asian flavour, try adding a handful of cilantro leaves with the spinach leaves. For a different version, try wilting the spinach, red onion and bean sprouts with the sesame oil and soy sauce before tossing them with all the other ingredients.

I found the lemon in this recipe a bit much next time I’ll try half a lemon, I did add some maple syrup to sweeten it a bit and I’ll do that again for sure. Great easy recipe over all.

Love the website & recipes. One little suggestion: when printing out this recipe, I generated 5 pages of print, only 1 of which was actually the recipe. Could we save paper and concentrate on the recipe printing, which is why a “Print Recipe” feature is added?
Thanks for rocking food in general and Canadian food specifically.
