Ingredients

2 oz. microgreens ~1.5 cups
1 large carrot peeled & box grated
1 Tablespoon oil of choice
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons fresh-grated ginger
½ Tablespoon maple syrup alt. honey
¼ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions

First, grate both your ginger and carrot.
Then put all but the grated carrot and microgreens into a jar, and shake like crazy until fully-combined, about 20 seconds.
In a large bowl, toss together the microgreens, grated carrot, and fresh ginger dressing, and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Ginger Puree: I highly recommend grating your own ginger into a puree rather than purchasing it, especially if you’re eating low histamine, but there are some preservative-free ginger purees out there, if you can source locally.

Toppings to Pair: the flavor profile of a ginger salad dressing can be very strong without an extra creamy component, so the microgreens salad you make would benefit from the addition of goat cheese and/or any tolerated nuts, though they're not a requirement. See this post for more info on low histamine cheeses.

Which Microgreens to Use?: if you don't have a ready blend of sprouts or microgreens available, I've written on the site before about the best microgreens for eating or growing at home. But a quick recommendation for a good home-mixed blend is pea sprouts, broccoli microgreens, and carrot or beet shoots.
