INGREDIENTS
Dressing
1 T ginger, grated, or substitute dried
1 tsp Asian mustard or substitute sweet hot mustard
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
2 T rice vinegar or substitute white balsamic vinegar

1 T soy sauce

1 large cucumber, sliced
3 – 4 scallions, greens and whites sliced thinly
1 red chili, sliced, or substitute yummy peppers
Leafy greens
1/2 large bunch minari, cut into bite sized pieces (water parsley, can sub flat parsley or celery)
1/3 head romaine, cut into large pieces
3 large handfuls spring mix
Finishing

INSTRUCTIONS
In a small bowl add the ginger, Caribbean seasoning, mustard and pepper. Mash together until the mustard is dissolved and the pepper and seasoning are well combined. Add the remaining dressing ingredients mixing well. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. Set aside.
