In a small bowl add all of your dressing ingredients and whisk well to combine.
Taste test and adjust seasonings if desired. (I usually add a bit more garlic, ginger, and sea salt...but that's just me! )
Add all of the salad ingredients nicely to a large serving bowl.
Pour dressing over the salad and gently, but thoroughly toss to combine. Taste test again, and adjust seasonings as desired.
Serve, or refrigerate immediately.
This salad is even better the next day after marinating in its dressing overnight.
If I know that I'm serving this the next day, I'll wait to sprinkle the chopped almonds right before serving.
Lasts for about 3 days in your refrigerator.
