Notes
- If making the salad the day before, store greens on top and keep dressing in a separate container to avoid a soggy mess.
- Add roasted garlic, seeds, nuts, raisin, or goji berries (we used roasted garlic)
- Tamari and soy sauce share a similar color and flavor and are both a byproduct of fermented soybeans. The only difference, Tamari is made without wheat and doesn’t contain any gluten.
