for the salad

• 1 cup steamed kale, chopped

• 6 cups butter or Romaine lettuce, shredded

• 3 scallions, minced

for the dressing

• 3 tablespoons mellow white miso

• 3 tablespoons orange juice

• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar

• 3 tablespoons maple syrup

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1/8 teaspoon dried ground ancho pepper

directions

1. Prepare all ingredients for the salad, keeping them separate.

2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the miso, orange juice, vinegar and maple syrup. Add just enough water to make pourable, but not so much that the dressing is watery, about 2-3 tablespoons. Stir in the garlic and dried pepper.

3. To serve, divide the shredded lettuce among serving plates. Arrange the chopped kale on top of this and drizzle with a generous amount of the dressing. Sprinkle minced scallions on top and serve.
