For The Dressing

Base draft — original amounts

The original draft batch is shown here for comparison; no public structured data is emitted. Base yield: 4.

  • 1 15oz can chickpeas
  • 3-4 cups green leaf lettuce
  • 1 apple
  • ⅓ cup carrots
  • 2 Tbsp red onion
  • 1½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp light olive oil
  • 1 tsp organic sugar
  • ⅛ tsp fresh black pepper

Instructions

  1. Wash & chop the lettuce. Slice the carrots and red onion thinly (julienne). Drain the chickpeas. Cut the apple into ½" cubes.
  2. For the dressing: Add the dressing ingredients to a small jar and shake vigorously. Or, add them to a bowl and wisk. Shake or whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Add some freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Combine the salad and dressing in a large bowl and toss to combine well. Can be eaten immediately. Best is if you cover and chill it for about an hour before serving.

Notes

I used light extra virgin olive oil from Cobram Estate, read more about them below! You can use vegetable oil, canola oil, or salad oil instead of light olive oil. Suzuki grandma most likely used Japanese "salad oil" which I think is the same thing as vegetable oil here in the states. For lettuce, any of these types works great: Iceberg lettuce Romaine lettuce Boston lettuce Butter lettuce Possibly even baby spinach or mixed greens but I haven't tried it. If you try it let me know how it was!
