This miso sesame kale salad is crisp, savory, and packed with bold umami flavor, tossed in a creamy sesame dressing that coats every bite. It’s a nourishing, make-ahead friendly salad that gets even better as it sits.
Dressing
2 In a medium bowl, combine the mirin, tamari, tahini, vinegar, oil, miso, water, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and well combined.(Note: If your tahini is thin in consistency, this is easy to stir together; if it is thick, you can make this in the blender. Add additional water by the tablespoon as needed until you reach the correct dressing consistency.) Set aside.
Salad
4 In a large bowl, combine the kale, cabbage, and scallions. Drizzle almost all the dressing over the salad. (You won’t need all of it—close to that.) Massage the dressing into the kale using your hands to help tenderize the greens. Toss the salad with the sesame seeds and serve.
5 Enjoy!
