Step 1

To marinate onions, combine onions with vinegar, Bragg Liquid Aminos, and black pepper. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the rest of the salad.

Step 2

To make the dressing, if you're using dates, soak them in 2 tablespoons of water for 5 minutes, or until soft. Mash together the dates and water until it becomes a thick syrupy paste. Pour syrup, vinegar, oil, mustard seeds, and salt in small bowl and mix well.

Step 3

For salad, place spinach and julienned carrots in a large bowl. Pour in marinated onions, including the marinade. Toss with mustard seed dressing.

Step 4

To serve, top tossed salad with a pinch or two of black pepper. Salad mix will keep for one day, dressing will keep for three to four days and marinated onions will keep for one day in the fridge when each are stored separately.
