Author Notes: Taking salad for lunch gets boring, so I was looking for an easy way to add Asian flavors to a brown-bag green salad. This one makes lunch at the desk feel like a treat. - AnneF

Serves 1

1 1/2 cup arugula
1 carrot, grated
1 celery stalk, sliced thin & on the bias
1 teaspoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriacha hot sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon low sodium soy sauce
1/2 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Wash & dry arugula & put it in your bowl or tupperware.
Top with carrots, celery, and/or any fresh vegetables that you have on hand. Red pepper is nice. I think this salad liked to be crunchy & chopped fine. Frozen peas are also good--they thaw by lunch time.
Put all the dressing ingredients, including sesame seeds, into a sandwich-sized ziploc baggie.
Seal the baggie tight and swish the ingredients around.
Take to work. Dress the salad at lunch time. Enjoy!
