🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1 cup shelled edamame, steamed and cooled
✓ 3/4 cup cooked quinoa, cooled
✓ 1.5 cups shredded red cabbage
✓ 1 large carrot, julienned or grated
✓ 2 tbsp shredded daikon radish
✓ 1/2 cup diced cucumber
✓ 1.5 tbsp roasted pumpkin seeds
✓ 1 tbsp sliced green onion
✓ 1 tsp black sesame seeds (optional)
✓ 1/4 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
✓ 1 tbsp tahini
✓ 1 tsp white miso paste
✓ 1.5 tbsp rice vinegar
✓ 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
✓ 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
✓ 1 tsp grated garlic
✓ 1/2 tsp sesame oil

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Base: If using frozen edamame, steam for 4–5 minutes and drain on paper towels. Ensure quinoa is fully cooled before mixing.

2. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk Greek yogurt, miso paste, and ginger until smooth. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and tahini; stir until creamy. Finish with sesame oil and taste; adjust soy sauce or vinegar as needed.

3. Shred & Julienne: Using a mandoline or sharp knife, shred red cabbage into thin ribbons. Julienne carrots and daikon into matchsticks for consistent texture and quick cooking absorption.

4. Assemble the Base: In a large bowl, combine cooled edamame, quinoa, red cabbage, carrots, daikon, and cucumber. Toss gently to distribute evenly.

5. Dress Just Right: Pour half the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly, coating each ingredient. Reserve remaining dressing for drizzle or second servings.

6. Top & Finish: Divide between two bowls. Sprinkle 0.75 tbsp pumpkin seeds on each bowl, scatter green onion slices and black sesame seeds if using. Serve immediately or chill up to 2 hours.
