Preparation
- Heat a small nonstick skillet medium heat. Add the sesame oil, ginger, and garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant. Add the brown sugar and water and stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is bubbling, being careful not to let it burn. Fold in the peanuts and sesame seeds until well-coated in the sugar mixture. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10–15 minutes.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the Simple Truth™ Organic Power Greens with Fresh Carrot, scallions, jalapeño, cilantro, and basil. Drizzle with the Simple Truth™ Asian Style Sesame Vinaigrette. Toss until the salad is well mixed and evenly coated.
- Garnish with the glazed peanuts and sesame seeds.
- Enjoy!
