CARROT ALMOND SALAD

We serve this as a colorful topping to fresh greens or as an addition to a brunch or antipasto plate {with extra for the kitchen crew, of course!}.

1 pound carrots, cleaned and coarsely grated
2/3 cup sliced almonds, lightly toasted
1/4 cup Soy Dressing {recipe follows}

Combine the grated carrots and almonds. Add 1/4 cup Soy Dressing and mix well.
Serves 4-6 on an antipasto plate. Serves 8 when used as a topping for fresh greens.

SOY DRESSING

1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root

Combine the above ingredients and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup dressing.
