Salad with Carrot Orange Ginger Miso Dressing
I LOVE getting the house salads as sushi / Japanese restaurants since the Orange Ginger Dressing is so tasty! There are several ways I have been making this Orange Ginger Dressing, and here is one of my versions that includes Miso Paste. Orange Ginger Dressing is oil free and extremely healthy. I hope you enjoy this version of Orange Ginger Dressing as much as I do!
Ingredients
Dressing Ingredients:
- 10 baby carrots
- 1 T freshly grated ginger
- 1 small yellow or white onion about size of a Β½ cup quartered
- Juice of an orange 3 T
- 3 T white miso paste
- 1 T reduced sodium soy sauce
- 2 T rice vinegar
Salad Ingredients:
- 3-4 cups of Chopped Spinach
- 1 green bell pepper chopped
- 1 cucumber diced
- 1 to mato diced
- 2-3 T scallions green onions chopped
Instructions
-
Make the dressing by placing all ingredients in a food processor and process for a few minutes until well blended.
-
Assemble the salad by placing spinach at the bottom of individual salad bowls, and then top with the remaining salad ingredients.
-
Then top the salads off with a few Table spoons of the dressing (you can also serve some of the dressing on the side).
Recipe Notes
Dressing can be made ahead (on a food prep Sunday) to save time to have a quick meal on a busy week night; this will keep well for a few days in the refrigerator.
The above salad ingredients can make about 2 large salads or 4 small salads.
You will likely have extra dressing to make more salads.
For dinner one night, try pairing this salad with one of my miso soup recipes: Miso Veggie Noodle Soup or Miso Soup with Veggies and Quinoa.
