Japanese Tofu Salad With Bonito Flakes and Miso Dressing
- Share via
Bonito flakes are a great finish to this tofu salad for one. You can find them at Japanese markets; they look like large pencil shavings.
While you’re at the market, pick up white miso for the dressing. Miso is a fermented soybean paste high in B vitamins and protein.
Add a slice of tofu for more protein.
The recipe for the dressing makes 1/4 cup. Cover and refrigerate any leftover dressing for another salad or as a dip for veggie sticks.
Combine soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sesame seeds, sugar and ginger. Whisk in miso. Makes 1/4 cup.
When ready to serve, arrange lettuce on plate along with radish sprouts and cucumber. Top with tofu and tomato slices, then sprinkle bonito flakes over top. Serve with dressing.
