Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of shredded cabbage, 1 cup of chopped kale, 1 cup of cooked shrimp, ¼ cup of chopped cilantro, and 1 diced avocado. Gently toss the salad mix to distribute the ingredients evenly, and make sure to break up any clumps of kale.
  2. In a small food processor, add 3 tablespoons of white miso, 1 minced garlic clove, 2 tablespoons of lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds or until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  3. Pour the freshly made dressing over the salad base in the large bowl. Using salad tongs, gently toss everything together for about 1 minute, ensuring that the cabbage, kale, and shrimp are evenly coated in the luxurious miso dressing.
  4. Transfer the Miso Crunch Salad to individual serving bowls for an attractive presentation. Garnish with a sprinkle of chili-flavored peanuts before enjoying your flavorful work!
