wasabi wow salad

So this was an impromptu salad I made the other night but I am not sure if it can be repeated! It relies on just a few ingredients from my favorite grocery store Trader Joes- but I couldn't find their sesame drizzling sauce so not sure what to use as a substitute!

-2 cups of mixed greens
- 1/4 thin sliced red onion
- handful of trader joes WASABI WOW nut mix ( almonds, peanuts, wasabi peas and cranberries)
- sesame soy dressing


To make dressing:
equal parts soy sauce and sesame drizzling oil. 1 tspn of honey.

Review:
The bitterness of the greens and the combo of salty/sweet of the nuts is great and the surprise of the wasabi - awesome. I loved this- might be nice with a stir fry.

Add to Crock pot
- Spray of Olive oil
- 1 large potato - peeled and cubed
- half a bag of frozen corn
- 1 bottle of clam juice- 1 cup of chix broth
- saute of leaks and fennel
-1 can stewed tomatoes
- maybe a tablespoon of tomato paste-maybe a squeeze of anchovy paste

cook for 4 hours
-add cooked shrimp once potatoes are done
- mad dashing of old bay
