Recipe Notes
This is a variation on a dressing created by my wife, Morgan. It is really fantastic with umami, bitter, salty and sweet taste buds activated. Leafy greens like this are so full of great things – calcium, Vitamin K (sadly not for warfarin users), fiber (very filling!), vitamin C, vitamin A, and potassium, yet are low in calories.
