Author Notes: This incredibly flavor-packed, completely vegan dressing turns inexpensive cabbage and carrots into a memorable side dish with tons of texture. We like this alongside brown rice and avocado or underneath any grilled protein. The easy Miso-Ginger Dressing is also a great dip for vegetables. - Weird & Ravenous
Serves 4
- 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger
- 1 small garlic clove, grated
- 2 tablespoons miso paste
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups finely shredded cabbage (about ¾ pound cabbage)
- 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into very thin matchsticks
- 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds, toasted
- In a small bowl, whisk together the ginger, garlic, miso, vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and water. and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the cabbage, carrots and sesame seeds together with the dressing. 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.

I made this salad for a potluck, and it went over really well. I dressed the cabbage and carrots right before I left the house, and about two hours later the cabbage had broken down and released some liquid, making it really crunchy and concentrated with flavor. I will say that it's important to grate the ginger and garlic- I minced them and had a few people bite into chunks. I would definitely make this again.

I added a dab of brown sugar to the dressing. I also added shredded carrot, slivered red bell pepper, and sliced scallions. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

This recipe is genius. I just ate it with a pile of quinoa and half an avocado, sliced and salted. It's so delicious, and makes a nice, tasty pile of slaw to pick at all afternoon!
