Crunchy Salad With Miso Tahini Dressing Recipe

Have you ever had a dressing you like so much that you make a salad around it? Well, this crunchy salad is made precisely for that reason. I made a concoction of dressing made from miso, tahini (sesame paste) and turmeric. I try to add this root in many of my dishes because it’s so good for you and makes everything I make so pretty!

So this salad is meant as a side dish. I usually serve a light, refreshing salad like this with a source of protein, like grilled tuna or grilled chicken and quinoa/brown rice. Yes, I do eat rice! I just learned to portion it and eat it on my high-activity days. Do you know that sprouts like pea shoots are so good for you? How good? About 30 times more nutrients than organic vegetables! Here’s the recipe.

Salad Ingredients

• 2 handfuls pea shoot
• 1 handful snap peas trimmed
• ⅙ medium red cabbage thinly sliced
• ¼ cup edamame beans steamed
• ¼ cup cilantro chopped
• 3 medium green onions chopped and thinly sliced white parts
• 2 tablespoons mint chopped
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds lightly toasted
• 1 small turmeric root optional

Miso Tahini Dressing Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon miso light
• ⅓ cup tahini sesame paste
• 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
• 1 medium lime juiced
• 1 tablespoon raw honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil toasted
• ¼ cup water more depending on the consistency you desire

Instructions

 

• In a large bowl, combine all the salad ingredients except edamame and sesame seeds. For presentation, these 2 can get “lost” in the plate. I usually place them on top of the salad. Remember, you eat first with your eyes.
• In another bowl, whisk together all the ingredients until smooth. Add more water if needed to make it thinner to your liking. Taste your creation, and tweak as needed.
