THE IDEAL RECIPE FOR EASY ORIENTAL CRISPY RIBBON SALAD

TV chef Dean Edwards developed this recipe to help inspire people to make more of salad. This makes a fantastic veggie meal and it’s ready in less than 15 minutes! This salad is full of great texture, from the sweet crispiness of the iceberg lettuce to the crunchy carrot and courgette ribbons. Iceberg is really versatile and is a lettuce which is great in both hot and cold dishes.

Preparation & Cooking Times

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 3-4 minutes

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
200g beansprouts
1 courgette (185g)
1 large carrot (165g)
½ Iceberg lettuce, shredded (280g)
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds

Method
