Farmer’s Market Salad with Miso Peanut Dressing
Farmer’s Market Salad with Miso Peanut Dressing is a colorful, crunchy, and deeply nourishing dish featuring 12 plant points (when the Miso Chickpea Tofu Croutons are included) that support gut health and plant diversity. Packed with fiber-rich kale, red cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers, this salad delivers prebiotic nutrients and antioxidants that feed beneficial gut bacteria and promote microbial balance. The creamy, umami-rich dressing blends miso, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, and lime for a flavorful boost that also supports digestion and immune function. Optional Miso Chickpea Tofu Croutons add extra texture and plant protein, making this a satisfying meal or side. In place of the chickpea croutons, consider adding a protein-rich cooked whole grain like quinoa or buckwheat. It's a delicious way to bring the farmers market—and gut-friendly nutrition—to your plate.

Raspberry Shallot Vinaigrette
If there’s one plant color group that screams antiinflammatory, it’s the one that is rich in purple and red hues like blueberries, cherries, and raspberries. Anthocyanins, the compounds that give these fruits their pretty hues, act like antioxidants in the body, scavenging free radicals, which may reduce inflammation and increase flexibility. When raspberries are in season try to find them fresh. If not, frozen berries are often harvested then frozen immediately, preserving their nutritional value. This dressing is a fun and tasty way to incorporate your daily dose of fruits. Who doesn’t love a salad with pink dressing!
