Serves: 4
Ingredients
Chopped Salad
-
1/3
cup toasted sliced almonds
-
4
cups mizuna, chopped
-
3
plums, diced
-
1/2
cup white salad turnips, cut into little sticks
-
1/4
cup green onions, finely diced
Ginger Miso Dressing
-
2
tablespoons white miso
-
2
tablespoons rice vinegar
-
2
tablespoons vegetable oil
-
3/4
tablespoon ginger (fresh minced or frozen)
-
1/2
tablespoon water
-
2
teaspoons honey or agave
-
1
teaspoon sesame oil
Directions
- If your sliced almonds didn’t come toasted, place them in a small skillet over medium-low heat and toast them for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they become golden-brown. Once toasted, set them aside in a dish to cool.
- To make your dressing, place all of your ingredients into a jar or a bottle with a tightly fitting lid, shake well, and then set aside.
- Next, prep your salad ingredients by chopping the mizuna, dicing the plums and green onions, and cutting the turnips into little sticks that are about half the size of a match stick. Toss all of the veg together in a bowl.
- To serve, divide the greens among four plates, sprinkle with toasted almonds, and drizzle with Ginger Miso Dressing.
