CURRY VINAIGRETTE
This dressing is great for Asian-inspired salads and has a bit of kick from the jalapeños. If your curry powder or paste has heat, consider that in the total heat output. Or input, as the case may be. ;) I roasted my jalapeño and removed everything *too* hot from it and the dressing came out really nice. Recipe courtesy of The Curry Book by Nancy McDermott.

Tips:
- Choose microgreens that are fresh and tender, with no signs of wilting or bruising.
- If you are growing your own microgreens, harvest them just before they reach full maturity for the best flavor and texture.
- Rinse the microgreens thoroughly before using them to remove any dirt or debris.
- Use a light touch when dressing the microgreens, as too much dressing can overwhelm their delicate flavor.
- Serve the microgreens immediately after dressing them to enjoy their best flavor and texture.
