A fresh and easy spinach salad with a twist. Fresh strawberries, crunchy almonds, bitter green onions and a delicious, almost drinkable miso dressing will make this one of your go-to weeknight salads.

Ingredients

Scale

For the dressing: 

  • 1 – 2″ peeled piece of ginger
  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 3 T white miso
  • 1/2 c rice wine vinegar
  • 1/4 c soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1 T honey
  • 2 t toasted sesame seed oil
  • 2 t hot chinese chili oil (more if you prefer it spicier)
  • 3/4 cup olive oil (not lite)

For the salad:

  • 1 5-ounce box baby spinach
  • 1 pint strawberries, sliced
  • 4 green onions, sliced diagonally
  • 3/4 cup slivered or sliced almonds

Instructions

For the dressing: 

  1. In a food processor, blender or Cuisinart Mini-Prep, finely mince the ginger and garlic. Add the miso, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, orange juice, honey, toasted sesame seed oil and hot chili oil. Add the olive oil and whirl until well blended. Taste and adjust seasonings. Set aside or refrigerate until ready to use. Can be made up to a week in advance.

For the salad: 

  1. Put the spinach in a bowl and add sliced strawberries, green onions and almonds. Toss with 1/3 of the dressing. Taste and add more dressing as needed. Hopefully you will have enough extra dressing for one or two more salads during the week. 

 

Notes

Variations:

  • Mango, blackberries or blueberries can be substituted for the strawberries. Or you can use a combination of different fruits.
  • Sliced chicken would also make a nice addition if you are trying to achieve a complete meal.
