Miso Carrot Salad

"All about eating your retinol..."
This vibrant and refreshing Miso Carrot Salad is my twist on the
viral Asian-style carrot and cucumber ribbon salad that’s been taking
Instagram and TikTok by storm. My sister was actually the one who
recommended I try it, and now I completely understand the hype!
In true Spicy Fusion Kitchen style, I’ve added my own spin:
White Miso. This umami-packed ingredient adds a beautiful depth of
flavour and gives the dressing that addictive savoury note we all love. My
sister brought me a jar during her visit, and let’s just say I’ve been
putting it to good use! That said, the miso is totally optional, I’ve made this salad without it, and it’s still bursting with
flavour. You can also mix things up by adding
shredded purple cabbage or cucumber ribbons for more crunch and
colour, which I've also done.
This salad comes together in minutes with minimal prep and was a total hit
at my family lunch table, there were barely any leftovers! Whatever dressing
remains can easily be reused, just toss in more carrots or fresh veggies,
and it's ready for your next meal.
This Miso Carrot Salad makes a great side dish with a variety of meals.
You could try it with; sticky sesame chicken or teriyaki salmon,
grilled tofu, fried rice, sushi, or noodle stir-fry, BBQ/Braai dishes,
steak, Korean fried chicken, burgers, grilled or oven baked chicken. Really
the options are endless, you'll see how this pairs with just about
everything.
