Spicy Greens Salad With Gochujang Dressing Recipe

Its true that in my family the lettuce most frequently called into duty is romaine we love its crunch, the hearts in particular. But sometimes you need a salad with a little more presence, some kick, and then you will be reaching for the more assertive greens, greens like arugula, mustard greens, mizuna, spinachand even, better, a mix. I love this pepper greens blend, and i also love their romaine heart leaves, and for this salad i used a blend of the two. And bold greens call for an assertive dressing. I have also recently been smitten with gochujang, a classic korean hot paste, traditionally made with chili peppers, fermented soybeans, brown sugar glutinous rice, and salt (really, its so much better than that description would lead one to believe) that is winning new fans for its pungent heat. Just a little dab will do you, but i love it, and im adding it to everything these days. The orange juice and the honey balance it out in this dressing with a bit of sweetness. I also think this dressing would make a great marinade for pork or chicken. Serve it on the side of the salad, so you can let everyone add as much or as little as they like.
