ASIAN SALAD WITH WASABI DRESSING

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk the wasabi sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic and ginger. In a large bowl or deep platter, layer the lettuce, cabbage, scallions, cilantro, straw mushrooms and bean sprouts. Drizzle on dressing, use as much as desired. Nutrition note: I try and keep my dressings light, so I actually only used half the amount listed, but I know it wouldn't be enough for many people and it is still just a little over 100 calories for the salad.

WASABI-SOY VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small liquid measuring cup or a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1/4 cup water, the garlic, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and wasabi paste.

• Use immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week. This tastes great with any green salad, of course, but also with raw, crunchy vegetables, like cucumbers, sugar snap peas and thinly sliced asparagus.
