Miso Ginger Salad
This isn’t your average chicken salad—it’s a hormone-supporting, protein-packed meal that’ll leave you feeling full, energized, and balanced. With fiber from fresh veggies, healthy fats from avocado and almonds, and a miso ginger dressing that’s so good you’ll want to drink it, this salad checks all the boxes.
Ingredients for the salad:
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
2 cups roasted chicken (about 2 chicken breasts) – I used my teriyaki chicken recipe from [this post] for extra flavor
½ avocado, diced
¼ cup frozen edamame, thawed and rinsed
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
¼ cup shredded carrot
¼ cup sliced scallions
¼ cup diced Granny Smith apple
1 tbsp almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
⅓ cup miso ginger dressing (recipe below)
For the dressing:
¼ cup white miso
½ cup coarsely chopped fresh ginger
1 tbsp Sriracha (adjust for spice preference)
½ cup rice vinegar
Juice of 1 lime
1 ½ tbsp yacon syrup or honey
⅓ cup coconut aminos
1 tbsp sesame oil
¼ cup olive oil
Salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Combine all of your salad ingredients together in a bowl. Have it ready to go for whenever you’re needing a quick blood sugar balancing meal.
Shake all of your dressing ingredients together in a mason jar. Store in the fridge for easy access!
