A version of Weird & Ravenous Crunchy Cabbage Salad with Miso-Ginger Dressing via Food 52. Not exactly traditional St. Patricks Day fare but man, a google search for “traditional Irish salad” was quite underwhelming
Ingredients:
1 medium size head of cabbage, shredded
3 medium carrot, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
3 scallions, also cut into thin ribbons
2 tsp fresh ginger, finely grated
1 1/2 tsp miso paste
3 TBS rice wine vinegar
2 TBS soy sauce
1 1/2 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 TBS water
2 TBS toasted sesame seeds
First, chop the cabbage, carrots, and scallions
Second, mix the ginger, miso, rice wine vinegar, soy scauce, seseame oil, and water together to make the dressing
Third, pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss
Garnish with sesame seeds
Serve immediately if you like it very crunchy or let it sit covered in the refrigerator for up to a few hours if you prefer it more slaw-like
Serves eight as a side and four as a main.
