if you’re looking for a salad that’s not only vibrant and delicious but also packed with nutrients, look no further than this revitalizing salad with carrot ginger miso dressing.
this salad is a feast for the senses, truly!!
it combines a rainbow of fresh vegetables with a creamy, tangy dressing that you will want to drink.
taste and texture
this salad is a fun mix of flavors and textures.
the edamame adds a satisfying bite, while the purple cabbage and red bell pepper bring a crisp crunch.
the mango adds a sweet and juicy element, perfectly complemented by the creamy avocado.
the spinach and red onion provide a fresh and zesty contrast, and the pumpkin seeds add a nutty crunch.
the carrot ginger miso dressing ties everything together with its rich, savory, and slightly sweet flavor, making each bite 10/10 good.
nutritional content
this salad is not only delicious but also highly nutritious.
it’s packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the variety of fresh vegetables.
edamame is a great source of plant-based protein, while spinach and purple cabbage provide a hefty dose of antioxidants.
the avocado and pumpkin seeds offer healthy fats, and the mango contributes to your daily vitamin c intake.
the dressing, made with carrots, miso, and almond butter, adds additional nutrients like beta-carotene, probiotics, and healthy fats.
substitution options
one of the great things about this salad is its versatility!!
you can easily swap out ingredients based on what you have on hand or your personal preferences.
for example, you can use kale or mixed greens instead of spinach, or substitute the mango with pineapple or apple for a different fruity twist.
if you’re not a fan of red onion, try using scallions or shallots.
the dressing can also be adapted—if you don’t have almond butter, you can use tahini or peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
the delicious dressing
the star of this salad is undoubtedly the carrot ginger miso dressing.
it’s a luscious blend of carrots, miso paste, soy sauce (or liquid aminos), ginger, garlic, almond butter, and onion powder, thinned out with water to your desired consistency.
the dressing is creamy, tangy, and bursting with umami flavor, making it a perfect match for the fresh and crisp salad ingredients.
it’s also incredibly nutritious, providing a good dose of vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats.
if you find yourself with leftover carrot ginger miso dressing, don’t worry—it’s incredibly versatile and can be used in various ways!
try using it as a dip for fresh veggies like cucumber, bell peppers, and carrot sticks.
it also makes a fantastic sauce for grain bowls, adding a burst of flavor to quinoa or rice with roasted veggies.
you can even drizzle it over grilled tofu or tempeh for a deliciously savory glaze.
how to make it
making this salad is straightforward and quick:
prepare the salad ingredients: in a large salad bowl, combine 1 cup cooked and shelled edamame, 1 cup thinly sliced purple cabbage, 1 thinly sliced red bell pepper, 1 diced ripe mango, 1 diced avocado, 2 cups chopped spinach, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds.
make the dressing: in a blender or food processor, add 2 peeled and chopped large carrots, 1/4 cup miso paste, 1 tbsp soy sauce or liquid aminos, 2 tbsp ginger juice (or 1 tbsp fresh grated ginger), 1 minced garlic clove, 1/3 cup almond butter, 1 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 cup water. blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
assemble the salad: drizzle the carrot ginger miso dressing over the salad. toss well to combine and evenly coat the ingredients with the dressing.
storage
this salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
if you plan to make it ahead of time, it’s a good idea to keep the dressing separate and add it just before serving to keep the salad ingredients crisp and fresh.
the dressing itself can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
enjoy this revitalizing salad as a light lunch, a side dish, or even a main course.
it’s perfect for a quick meal that’s both satisfying and nourishing. happy eating my friends!
