Maple ginger dressing makes a tasty Asian slaw; perfect as a main course salad for lunch and dinner. Popular for potlucks, too. The hemp seeds offers a complete protein in this fabulous, easy to make vegan salad.
All year long you can mix and match a variety of local, seasonal vegetables to make delicious variations of this salad.
And I have often demonstrated a tasty variation at some of my speaking engagements.
