A vibrant and flavorful Korean spinach salad that brings together fresh greens, crunchy vegetables, and a delicious umami dressing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, cleaned and wilted (Best when lightly steamed)
  • 1 cup carrots, julienned
  • ½ cup cucumber, finely sliced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon red chili flakes (Optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by rinsing your fresh spinach under cool water. If you’re lightly steaming it, do that now until just wilted (about 1-2 minutes). Set aside to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, and red chili flakes (if using). Taste and adjust the seasoning based on your preference.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the wilted spinach, julienned carrots, and sliced cucumber. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine, making sure every piece is coated.
  4. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds on top for that extra crunch and nutty flavor. Serve immediately, or chill for a bit if you prefer it cold!

Notes

For variations, substitute spinach with kale or shredded cabbage, and include proteins like tofu or chickpeas for a heartier meal.
