Christina Our Kale Salad w/ Ginger-Miso Vinaigrette Dressing is going to greatly surprise you! So easy and quick to make, extremely healthy, and packed with flavour!
Kale is so healthy and it’s always on the menu at our house. One of our favourite ways to eat it is this Kale Salad with Ginger-Miso Vinaigrette. So delicious and nutritious!
Massaging the kale with the dressing to wilt and soften the leaves is very important as massaging kale mellows the bitterness and brings out the sweetness while making the leaves chewy and tender.
This Ginger-Miso Vinaigrette Dressing is very simple and quick to make, yet packedย with tons of flavour.ย Itโs umami, tart, salty, yummy!
We like to drizzle this Vinaigrette on all sorts of dishes, from salads to roasted vegetables. The vinaigrette is also made with very easy and affordable ingredients.
Do you know how healthy kale is? (extracted from Medical News Today): The nutrients it contains support healthy skin, hair, and bones. The fibre content enhances digestion and contributes to cardiovascular health. With more nutritional value than spinach, it may help improve blood glucose control inย diabetes, lower the risk ofย cancer, reduceย blood pressure, and help prevent the development ofย asthma.

Instructions
Ginger-Miso Vinaigrette
- In a medium bowl, whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, water, apple cider vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, ginger powder, white miso paste, nutritional yeast, old-fashioned mustard, and freshly ground black pepper, until a smooth paste has formed.
Kale Salad
- Place the chopped kale in a large bowl, and drizzle over 1 cup of the vinaigrette. Using your hands, toss and massage the kale for two minutes. The leaves should be glistening with vinaigrette, not swimming in it. Let the salad sit at room temperature for 5 minutes.
- Transfer the rest of the vinaigrette to a sealed container, and store it in the refrigerator.
- Top the kale salad with finely sliced red bell pepper, chopped cucumber, chopped tomatoes, chopped carrot, corn salad greens, green olives, black olives, and sunflower seeds. Drizzle with more Ginger-Miso Vinaigrette.
- Enjoy immediately along with a few slices of whole-wheat or gluten-free bread!
Notes
- Store in the refrigerator, in a sealed container, for up to 3 days.
- Store the vinaigrette separately in another sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Deliciously tangy dressing! I added a touch of stevia feeling I needed a bit of sweetness, otherwise adhered to the recipe completely. This is a great recipe, thank you.
So happy to hear that you liked our recipe! Adding a bit of stevia to the dressing sounds delicious! Will try that next time! Thanks so much ๐
