Notes

How to Broil Salmon
Make Ahead: The Miso Sessame Dressing should keep well in the fridge for about 5–7 days in a sealed jar. Just give it a good shake before using since it may separate.
Chop everything small: This makes the salad easier to eat and helps all the flavors mix together.
Use sturdy greens: Kale and Brussels sprouts are ideal because they don’t get soggy quickly.
Switch up the protein: Lemon Herb Grilled chicken, pesto shrimp, tofu (this Sweet Gingery Tofu is next level!), quinoa or Crispy Air Fryer Chickpeas all work well.
Dress just before serving (or not): This salad can handle being dressed ahead of time, making it great for meal prep.
More Dressing Ideas: My Citrus Herb Vinaigrette, Everyday Lemon Vinaigrette, Vegan Sesame Dressing, Carrot Ginger Miso are great dressing options for this salad if you want to change it up.
Miso Ginger Variation: To make Miso Ginger Dressing add 1 teaspoon fresh ginger (peeled and grated) into the dressing. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth and silky.
