Favorite thing we’ve been eating lately: this crunchy salad. It's loaded with cherry tomatoes, sliced cabbage, mini bell peppers, scallions, and leafy greens. Don't forget the slivered almonds, toasted to nutty perfection. We love to serve it up with creamy Miso Dressing, but a balsamic vinaigrette would also work well here.

Shopping List
    Salad
  • 3 ounces spring mix
  • 1 1/2 cups red or green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup sweet mini bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 4 large scallions, chopped
  • 3/4 cup slivered almonds Miso Dressing
  • 2 tablespoons mirin (we use this one)
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed or avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sweet white miso
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon packed fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Step 2: Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast the almonds for 6 to 8 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Keep an eye on them, as the almonds can go from toasted to burnt very quickly. Once toasted, remove the almonds from the pan and set them on a plate to cool (the almonds will continue to toast if left on the baking sheet).
  3. Step 3: Combine all of the Miso Dressing ingredients in a small blender until smooth and creamy. You can also use a wide-mouthed mason jar and a stick blender (we like this one). Refrigerate.
  4. Step 4: Combine all of the salad ingredients, including the toasted almonds, in a large mixing bowl. Add the dressing, to taste, and stir to combine.
  5. Serve: Enjoy. Leftover dressing can be stored in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
Recipe Notes

Note 1: Sweet mini bell peppers have a slightly sweeter taste than their larger counterparts. However, regular bell peppers can be used as a substitute.
