Coconut lime salad




We went to a restaurant called KoKo last night (www.kokomontreal.com) and had a salad that was truly memorable. While it was still fresh in my mind, I wanted to try to re-create it. Here is what I came up with:


Dressing:

2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut milk

Grated zest of 1 lime

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

2-1/2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1/4 teaspoon chile oil

Sea salt

Toasted sweetened coconut (2 tablespoon ish)

Salad:

2 cups baby arugula

1/4 cup green onion, cut to about 3/4 inch per piece

1/2 (over flowing) cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped

1/4 - 1/2 cup cilantro leaves

This is definitely a keeper. I'll probably play around with the ratios, but love the overall combination.
