Asian Cabbage and Kale Salad
This recipe comes from Pinch of Yum. They call it Miso Crunch Salad and you can find the link to their blog here. It’s Asian-ish and would go wonderfully with any grilled protein. They add shrimp to make it a full meal, chicken would be equally delicious, even some leftover grilled steak. I served this as a salad with gochujang marinated grilled chicken. Leftover chicken was added to the salad for lunch the next day.

Thai-influenced chopped cabbage and kale salad
The salad was still crunchy and delicious for lunch two days later. This would be a good salad to take to a party. It does contain peanuts but any other spiced nut would work. I only modified the recipe slightly, adding thinly sliced red onion and radishes.
Ingredients:
Dressing –
- 1/3 cup of avocado or other neutral oil
- 1/3 cup of lime juice from 4-6 limes
- 1/4 cup of white miso
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt
Salad –
- 5 cups of shredded kale
- 5 cups of shredded cabbage (a cole slaw mix would work here)
- 1/2 cup of thinly sliced red onion
- 4 thinly sliced radishes
- 1 cup of chili-flavored peanuts or something similar
- 2 avocados, chunked
- 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro
- 1/2 cup of sliced scallions (optional)
Method:
- Shake the dressing ingredients together in a jar, whisk in a bowl, or mix in a small food processor until smooth. Add a few drops of water if it seems too thick.
- Toss the salad together with the dressing in a large bowl and massage slightly.
