Ginger Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • ½ cup peanut oil
  • ½ cup yellow onion
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon ginger

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Salad Ingredients

  • 6 cups iceberg lettuce

Instructions

Make the Salad Dressing

  • Prepare the onion, ginger, carrot, and celery by washing, peeling, and giving them a rough chop.
  • Measure all of the other ingredients and add them to a blender.
  • Blend for 1 minute or until the desired consistency is achieved.
  • Transfer your homemade dressing to a storage container like a mason jar with an airtight lid. Let it hang out in the refrigerator for about 2 hours before serving.
  • When you are ready to serve, just give the mason jar a good shake because the oil will separate from the rest of the dressing.

Make the Salad

  • To assemble the salad, start with the iceberg lettuce. Cut a head of iceberg in half and remove the core. Dice the wedges of iceberg into bite size pieces. Wash and dry with a salad spinner or use paper towels.
  • Prepare the carrots by washing, peeling, and cutting into julienne strips. You can also by the pre-shredded bag at the grocery store.
  • For the red cabbage, cut a wedge of the cabbage and remove the core. Remove the outer layers
  • Dress the iceberg lettuce with the ginger dressing first. Then top with the other vegetables. Serve.
