This simple salad is a wonderful way to use leftover kale or other greens. The orange flavored Miso Dressing give the dish a rich unifying flavor and goes well on any tossed green salad as well.

Yields – 4 servings

Prep Time – 20 Minutes

Ingredients

For The Salad:

  • 1 cup steamed kale, chopped
  • 6 cups butter or Romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 3 scallions, minced

For The Dressing:

  • 3 tablespoons mellow white miso
  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried ground ancho pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients for the salad, keeping them separate.

Step 2

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the miso, orange juice, vinegar and maple syrup. Add just enough water to make pourable, but not so much that the dressing is watery, about 2-3 tablespoons. Stir in the garlic and dried pepper.

Step 3

To serve, divide the shredded lettuce among serving plates. Arrange the chopped kale on top of this and drizzle with a generous amount of the dressing. Sprinkle minced scallions on top and serve.
