SEE FISH FEAST

by Stefanie

How fun is a post with no pictures? NOT! But I ate my salad so fast--and am now so full--that I forgot to take a picture.  However, I still wanted to share this amazing entree salad with you.  I'll call it Ginger Steak Salad.  The dressing is where it's at so, make it up first:

1/2 cup Braggs Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)
1/3 cup rice vinegar
3/4 cup olive oil
2 T fresh ginger root (finely grated or just peeled and coarsely chopped if you are making this in a high powered blender that will blend it smooth)
3 T honey
4 cloves of garlic (minced or blended)

On a bed of your favorite organic greens add all or some of the following chopped veggies:
cucumber
red onion
avocado
zucchini
sweet bell peppers
mushrooms
cilantro
sprouts

Then cook up some high quality steak, cut it into strips and toss into the salad.  I marinated and cooked my meat in teriyaki sauce.  Here is a recipe for homemade teriyaki:

1/4 c Bragg Liquid Aminos (or soy sauce)
1 c water
1/2 t ground ginger
1/4 t garlic power
5 T sucanant (or brown sugar)
1-2 T honey
Begin to heat on stove and add 2 T cornstarch mixed with 1/4 c cold water as a thickening agent.

Well, of course the last thing you do is pour your delicious dressing on your salad.  You might want to make extra because you'll be craving it the next day!  Enjoy!
