Super Quick Miso-Dressed Cabbage Salad

A Super Quick Miso-Dressed Cabbage Salad, that packs a punch, and can complement many meals.
It’s Gluten-Free and only requires a handful of ingredients!

With its rich colours and garlicky, spicy dressing, this is a treat to find in your lunchbox or to take on a picnic.
I like to have this miso dressed salad as a side to my Oil-Free Crispy Tofu Bites, stuffed in a sandwich or in a wrap, for extra texture and saltiness.

If you like these types of salads, definitely give a seaweed salad a go as well! (ppstt.. read more on seaweed here)

What Is Miso?

Miso, a Japanese ingredient, is a paste made from fermented soya beans. Intensely savory, it’s a great addition to any cook’s box of tricks; with the added bonus that its unpasteurized versions are also rich in live, friendly bacteria.
Some of the darker varieties of miso can be really pungent but sweet, made from soya beans and rice, is about the mildest you can buy, that is also great in dressings.

But you can, if you like, use the slightly stronger Shiro miso in this recipe.

 

WHY this salad is so freakin’ awesome:

  • Doesn’t require any cooking – just chopping and mixing is required here.
  • There are so many wonderful textures and distinct flavors, yet they all work well together in perfect, delicious harmony.
  • The dressing is homemade, using wholesome ingredients, as opposed to dousing this salad in mayo.
  • This salad is done in 15 minutes! But if you have a little extra time, I recommend leaving the salad in the fridge a bit, so that all the flavors have enough time to mingle.
