Summary

Miso is a common Japanese paste, produced from fermenting soybeans, that adds a salty umami flavor to dishes. When it’s combined with the nutty flavor of tahini and a touch of rice vinegar and lime it makes a perfect dressing for this sprout and carrot salad. Make extra dressing so that you can use it on grain bowls and other salads throughout the week.

Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use any lettuce greens you have on hand.

Substitute any sprouts you’d like — bean, grain, or vegetable — they’ll all be delicious with the ginger dressing.

Use red, yellow, or white onion in place of green onion. We definitely recommend some sort of onion, though, as it really complements the dressing.

Add basil or cilantro on top for additional flavor and nutrition.

Top the salad with peanuts or cashews for some crunch and protein.
