Recipe Notes

Korean Salad Recipe Notes:
Salad Base Notes: *
For the greens – I used spring mix.  This Korean Salad Recipe can be varied with any type of leafy green, such as spinach, kale, baby kale, romaine, etc.   
For the salt, I usually use either Sea Salt or Pink Himalayan Sea Salt.
For 2 servings, I used:

  • Half of a standard 5 oz. bag of the greens (or 2 large handfuls)
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • ½ T of olive oil

Notes for Directions: **
The lime juice and olive oil should together lightly dress the leafy greens.  If you end up putting in too much, then you can add more leafy greens to the bowl to balance it out.  If it is not dressed enough, then add a little more as you prefer.
When including toppings, include the toppings on the individual servings rather than tossing together within the bowl.  This will allow you to properly portion over each serving.
