The Singita Salad

This recipe is straight from the plains of Tanzania -- the Singita Grumeti Game Reserve in Africa. There's a very good reason that we carried this recipe the 8,000 miles and 46 hours it took to get home, because not only is it the best salad on the continent of Africa, it may be the best salad in the world...

What I love about the sald is it's dense texture. This is a hearty entree salad with rich, bold flavors. But the dressing is really what makes it...it's f-ing phenomenal.

For the dressing:

1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grape seed or canola.
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 tablespoon peeled and grated ginger
2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil.

For the salad, equal parts Julienned:

Seared or grilled beef filet or skirt steak (salt, pepper, olive oil), finely sliced.
Carrots
Mauge Tout
Onions
Peppers (red, yellow or green)

Mix everything together and finish with toasted sesame seeds.

There you have it...the best of Asia in Africa!
