This Vegan Asian Salad with Miso Dressing has become one of our favorite salads. Everytime I make, we always ask ourselves why we don’t make it more often. It is that good! And it is sooooo easy to make.’
The Miso Dressing has the deep umami you love, with just a hint of sweetness. It literally takes about 3 minutes to make, but tastes like you spent much longer and worked much harder on it. I like to make all my salad dressing in advance so that they can sit a while and allow all the flavors to come together. A couple hours early is perfect.
For the salad, just chop and dice the veggies. I do like to grate the carrots instead of chopping them up. Just my thing…. I typically make way much salad because the Napa Cabbage is typically very big. Because of this, I put all the veggies in a large bowl, with the exception of the sliced avocado, which I put on top of each individual salad. I don’t put the dressing on the large bowl of salad – I dress each salad on its own. More times that not, I have so much salad, I go back and make more dressing the next day.
I hope this Asian salad becomes your family favorite as well. ENJOY!
