Raw Noodle Salad with a creamy Miso Dressing

Last night I threw this together for a quick dinner and I thought it was definitely worthy to put on my blog! This is perfect for a quick and easy raw vegan dinner that gives you an immediate health boost.

Feel free to add other salad ingredients to it - it could only get better! For example spiralize some cucumber and carrots into it as well and add some fresh chopped tomatoes (the only reason I didn't is lack of ingredients!).

Ingredients 

(serves one) 

• 1/2 a large courgette
• 1/2 a large beetroot 
• 1/2 a red cabbage (you won't use the whole half!) 
• Other veg that could be added: 1 carrot, 1/2 a cucumber etc. 
• 1/2 tsp of salt 
• 1/4 tsp of black pepper
• Optional: handful of bean sprouts 

For the miso dressing 

• 1 1/2 tbs of tamari 
• 1 tbs of warm water 
• 1 tbs of sweet miso paste
• 1 tsp of tahini 
• 1 tsp of almond butter 
• 1 tsp of rice mirin 
• 1/2 tsp of chopped ginger 
• 1 tbs of apple cider vinegar 

OR for a different dressing and more sweetness: 

• 1 1/2 tbs of sweet white miso paste 
• 1 tbs of tamari 
• 1 1/2 tsp of (preferably unsalted) almond butter 
• 1 1/2 tsp of nutritional yeast + 1 tsp of sprinkling over the top 
• 1/2 tbs of rice mirin 
• 1 tsp of chopped ginger 
• 1/2 clove of garlic (or a very small clove found in the centre of the bulb) 
• Dash of chili powder 
• 2 tbs of water 
• Coriander to garnish 
• Optional: Sprinkle of sesame seeds 
• Optional: handful of raisins 

Method 

1. Spiralize the vegetables. With the red cabbage you might have to turn it yourself (as opposed to turning the handle, which turns the cabbage) - use about 1 slice worth of red cabbage from the half. Mix in salt and pepper and leave to one side 
2. Put all the dressing ingredients into a mini bullet blender, blend until smooth. 
3. Pour the dressing over the 'noodles' and enjoy. I ate mine with some bean sprouts sprinkled in - this gives it extra crunch which is really tasty.
