Chopped Salad with Miso Ginger Dressing

Chopped Salad with Miso Ginger Dressing

I love a pretty chopped salad for lunch and this recipe with miso ginger dressing is delicious. The dressing is the perfect complement to the crisp and flavorful ingredients of the salad. The miso and ginger blend perfectly with the nutty flavor of the toasted sesame oil. The avocado and chickpeas give the salad a heartiness that makes it the perfect weekday meal.
