Ingredients
Miso Dressing:
1 tablespoon white sesame seeds
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
5 tablespoons honey
5 tablespoons white miso paste
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons light molasses
1 tablespoon Sriracha chili sauce
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced white onions
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Kale Salad:
6 ounces baby kale, cut into julienne strips
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper
1/2 cup miso dressing
1/2 cup toasted and finely chopped macadamia nuts
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup orange segments
1/4 cup shaved white onions
Directions
- Put serving bowls in the refrigerator until well chilled.
- For the miso dressing: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
