Big on flavour, rich in texture, and packed with plant-based goodness - this Miso Sesame Salad ticks all the boxes.

It’s a no-fuss, high-fibre dish that brings together crunchy raw veg, protein-packed nuts and legumes, and a zesty miso dressing. Perfect on its own or as a side to your favourite protein (think chicken, salmon or tofu), it’s the kind of salad that actually leaves you feeling full and satisfied.

Better yet, it comes together in one bowl with minimal prep — and zero cooking required.
