Praise for the EarthDance CSA (Community Supported Agriculture)

One of our dedicated CSA members was inspired to make this lovely asian salad with our purple Pak Choi in her weekly share:

I made this salad after picking up my CSA share. It was a spur of the moment salad specifically inspired by the beautiful purple Pak Choi in my share. I know from past experience the leaves have a mild cabbage flavor and will lose the beautiful deep purple color when cooked. I wanted one meal in which I could fully enjoy the visual colors so evident in the photo. This salad was made for 2 people.

For the salad:

2 + cups of lettuce (Earth Dance) Washed, gently torn into bite size pieces
2 + cups of Pac Choi (Earth Dance) Washed. • Prep note: I cut the purple leaf from the white stems. I sliced the leaves into uniform bite size strips. I cut the white stems crosswise and added them to the salad they looked a little bit like celery and added a nice refreshing moisture filled crunch.
2 medium black radishes, diced (Whole Foods)
1 cup of fresh Sungold tomatoes, sliced in half (Earth Dance)
2 baby zucchini, sliced
½ cup of black soy beans, canned, rinsed
1 can of Tuna

For the Dressing:

2 tablespoons Canola oil
½ teaspoon of sesame oil, I used dark
1 teaspoon of low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon Lime Juice
2 teaspoons of honey
¼ to ½ teaspoon of fresh, finely grated ginger
Pinch of wasabi.

Place all ingredients into a jar with a lid and shake vigorously. Taste, adjust as desired. I sprinkled each salad with 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds.
