GINGER SESAME SALAD

mostly raw • 6 servings

THIS DRESSING FEATURES some of my favorite ingredients with the best health benefits. Apple cider vinegar aids digestion by balancing the acid-alkaline environment of the digestive tract. Nutritional yeast is rich in B-complex vitamins that we need to keep our energy up and our stress levels low. Ginger provides great immunity support. Feel free to double up the recipe so that you have some leftover to use throughout the week!
