Carrots, Cashews, and Cannellinis

I'm so grateful for the fresh carrots our local farms are providing. I put together this simple salad with them that is warming (thank you, ginger!), even though it requires no cooking.

Ingredients
4 teaspoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Tamari Soy Sauce
~2 teaspoons freshly grated ginger (how warm do you want it?)
juice of 1/2 lemon
sea salt to taste
2-3 medium carrots, washed and grated
1 15 oz. can Cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1-2 leaves fresh greens (I used Swiss Chard), washed and finely chopped
1 cup raw cashews

Directions
  1. Combine first 5 ingredients in jar with tight fitting lid and shake it up. Taste and adjust seasonings. Shake again and set aside.
  2. Combine carrots, beans, and greens in medium size bowl. Toss.
  3. Test dressing again and adjust to taste.
  4. Pour over salad and toss to coat.
  5. Add cashews just before serving.
  6. Enjoy!
