INSTRUCTIONS

GINGER-MISO DRESSING INSTRUCTIONS

• Whisk together miso, ginger, vinegar, soy sauce and honey until smooth; slowly whisk in canola and sesame oil until blended.

SALAD INSTRUCTIONS

• Using a spiralizer, turn carrot into long strands, trimming with clean kitchen shears, if needed. Repeat with cucumber. Toss cucumber with salt; let stand for 10 minutes. Place cucumber on clean tea towel; roll up and twist to release excess moisture.
• Toss cucumbers, carrot, edamame and half of the green onions with dressing. Before serving, garnish with remaining green onions and sesame seeds.

Chef’s Tip:
Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) fresh chopped herbs, such as cilantro or mint, to the salad if desired. A spiralizer is also known as a spiral slicer or vegetable turning slicer. They’re available at kitchenware or department stores, or can be ordered online.
