Chinese Salad

Description: When I looked at this salad I was skeptical that I would like it because I'm not a fan of salads that only contain spinach but this was super delicious. The raisins give it that tiny little sweetness and the crunch of the cashews are lovely.

Ingredients:

• 1 (12 ounce) bag Baby Spinach
• 1 (8 ounce) package bean sprouts
• 3 stalks celery, sliced
• 2/3 cup raisins
• 2 cups sliced mushrooms
• 2 sweet red peppers, chopped small
• 1 teaspoon parsley
• 2 cups cashews
• 1 cup rice, cooked and cooled
• vinaigrette
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil or 1/2 cup olive oil, your preference
• 3 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

1. Toss veggies in a bowl.
2. Mix vinaigrette in a separate bowl and allow to marinate for an hour.
3. Pour vinaigrette over salad just before you are ready to serve and toss.
4. Bon Appetit.
