I have always enjoyed the miso salad dressing you get in Japanese restaurants, so this recipe seems to be about the same. This salad is good with miso soup before sushi. The measurements are approximate, make changes to suit your tastes.

Ingredients

1/4 cup miso
2 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger OR 1 tsp ginger powder
water as needed (optional)

Directions
Mix together and use over crisp lettuce, shredded carrots and chopped cucumbers for a great Japanese salad.

This Creamy Maple Sesame Dressing is really good and worth a try. I made it without the sesame dressing because I didn’t have any, but substituted hemp oil and it was still delicious. Just scroll to the end of the page where the dressing recipe is located.

I have added the ingredients list here, but please visit Vegan Yum Yum for the full recipe and directions.

Ingredients
1 1/2 Tbs Nayonaise
1 3/4 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
2 tsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1 1/5 tsp Dijon Mustard
1 1/2 Tbs Maple Syrup
1/4 tsp Salt
Fresh Pepper

Salad
Baby Spinach
Feta Cheese
Sundried tomatoes

Dressing - Enough for 3 salads at least
1 garlic clove, boiled and minced
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp dry mustard
3 tbsp olive oil

Directions
The dressing will make enough for 3 or more salads, if you prepare it in a container with a lid, you can store it in the fridge and use it on other salads.

Cut the sundried tomatoes into thin strips and then soak in hot water or boiling water for 5 minutes until softened.

Mix all the dressing ingredients and whisk or shake up. Then add about 1/4 to the salad and enjoy. It will depend how much spinach you have, but I found the dressing was way more than I needed for one salad for 4 people.

Dressing Ingredients
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp oregano
pepper

Salad Ingredients
1 romaine lettuce
feta cheese
cherry tomatoes

Directions
Soak the lettuce in cold water then tear up and dry. Add some crumbled feta cheese, as little or much as you prefer and the cherry tomatoes. Shake or whisk together the dressing ingredients, and mix with salad. Serve and enjoy.

This is a hearty salad where you can combine the ingredients in the amounts you prefer. Tomatoes can also be added, or different cheeses. Honey Mustard dressing is my preferred on this salad but use whatever you prefer.
