Ingredients
Salad ingredients
- 3 cups purple cabbage washed and finely sliced
- 4 Brussels sprout washed and finely sliced
- 3-4 radishes washed and sliced julienne
- 1 carrot peeled and sliced julienne
- 1 crisp apple washed and thinly sliced
- ¼ cup mint leaves finely sliced
- 1 avocado (small) peeled, deseeded and sliced or cubed
- ⅓ cup raw almonds roughly chopped (or pumpkin seeds)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- cracked pepper
Dressing ingredients
- ⅓ cup orange juice fresh, if you can
- 1 tablespoon white miso paste (Shiro)
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Add the red cabbage, Brussel sprouts, radish, carrot, apple and mint to a large mixing bowl.
- In a small bowl whisk together the orange juice, miso, garlic and vinegar before adding the oil in a steady stream, still whisking. (tip: add a touch of warm water to break down the miso paste, if needed).
- Add around a third of the dressing to the salad mixture and toss through.
- To serve, add the dressed mixture to a serving bowl and top with the chopped almonds and sliced avocado. Drizzle more dressing over the salad - to taste - and season with sea salt and cracked pepper.
Notes
Can I change the vegetables in this rainbow salad?
Yes, you can. Adding massaged kale, orange slices and edamame beans will give the salad a different vibe but will still work with the orange miso dressing.
Does the salad store well?
It will store well in the fridge for a day or two, but will release water as time goes on.
