What kind of dressing to make for this salad?

[Anonymous]

Hi, DCUM foodies --

What kind of dressing would be most flavorful with a spinach salad with orange slices, scallions, cucumbers and maybe almonds or peanuts? I'm serving this with chicken thighs marinated in soy sauce, rice wine, garlic and ginger.

TIA for your suggestions!

I'd do a vinaigrette with rice wine vinegar, olive oil, a little sugar, a little soy sauce, a dash of salt (I do use salt and soy), a squeeze of orange juice, and white pepper. I would add celery to the salad, maybe?

Serve with scallion pancakes instead of bread. With sweet chili sauce and chili crisp.

I make this dressing a lot. Add orange zest too.
