From New York chef Lauren Gerrie, a post-workout dinner that can be made in under 10 minutes.
The upside of a post-workout salad is it feels virtuous. The downside is that it often leaves you ravenous an hour later. Turkey sausage—enjoyed cold or zapped in the microwave—bulks this up while cashews provide a crunch. Make the dressing when you have an extra few minutes, so that you're spending just five minutes tossing everything together before settling into your recovery meal.
Ingredients
Directions
Step 1
In a blender or food processor, process together garlic, ginger, honey, liquid aminos, vinegar, and cayenne on low speed until garlic is chopped; with machine running, gradually add in ¼ cup of both olive and grapeseed oil, then increase speed to high and blend until dressing looks almost creamy.
Step 2
In a large bowl, toss together arugula, torn basil, corn, cashews, and chives; drizzle with desired amount of dressing and toss again. Divide salad and sausage between two bowls and garnish with basil leaves.
