Kale, Orange, Sesame Seed Salad with Pepitas

Ingredients: Makes 12 servings

1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 ½ tablespoons canola oil

1 ½ tablespoons crystalized ginger

1 ½ tablespoons pepitas (hulled pumpkin seeds)
4 ounces chopped kale

Directions:

Put the orange juice, ginger and rice vinegar in a small mixing bowl or blender/food processor. Use a hand mixer or blender food processor and with the device on, slowly drizzle in both oils to form an emulsion.
