Ingredients
  

For the Dressing:

  • 2 limes juiced
  • 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup of ginger about a 4-inch section, frozen and grated or peeled and minced
  • 3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 3 jalapenos stemmed, seeded, and minced
  • 3 cloves garlic peeled and minced or pressed through a garlic press

For the Salad:

  • 1 pound linguine cooked according to package directions, drained, and shocked with cold water, then chilled
  • 1 small head Napa cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 container baby spinach
  • 1/2 a head of purple cabbage thinly sliced
  • 1 English cucumber seedless, quartered lengthwise, then thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper stemmed or 3 baby red peppers, seeded, and thinly sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper stemmed or 3 baby yellow peppers, seeded, and thinly sliced

  • 2 bunches cilantro washed, tough stems removed, roughly chopped

  • 2 cups pea shoots or bean sprouts

For Garnish:

  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Instructions
 

  • In a quart sized mason jar, combine all of the dressing ingredients.Reach a fork into the jar and give it a swirl to get the brown sugar lifted from the bottom of the jar. Lid the jar tightly and shake to dissolve the sugar and combine evenly. Set aside.
  • In a very large mixing bowl, toss together all of the salad ingredients with your hands or a pair of tongs. Shake the jar of dressing vigorously to recombine, pour over the salad, and toss to coat. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
