Preparation

Thanks to Christelle Tanielian for this recipe for an all-green salad with a lovely spicy touch!

Cilantro, Miso, and Ginger Vinaigrette

In a deep bowl with an immersion blender or in the bowl of a food processor, combine all the ingredients. Blend until you get a creamy but flowing vinaigrette. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add a bit of water if necessary. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Salad

  1. In a pot of boiling water, cook the edamame for 3 to 4 minutes or according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water. Drain and set aside.
  2. On a large serving plate, arrange all the salad ingredients. Serve the salad drizzled with a few spoonfuls of the vinaigrette.

Variation

Add rice noodles or soba noodles for a more substantial salad.
