Wicked Healthy Chopped Salad

with Charred Vegetables & Ginger-Miso Dressing

This summer recipe comes from our good friends at Wicked Healthy, a Boston based Chef duo that want you to eat your vegetables and have them taste great. It can be easily adapted for a grill, so heat one up before you begin and forgo the skillet in Step 4. The garbanzo beans get pan toasted and dusted with a smoked nori spice, black and white sesame seeds with nori and smoky spices. Serve this meal family style lightly drizzled with dressing.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Prep the grilled vegetables

Halve the cabbage. Cut the zucchini into planks, each about 3 to 4 inches long. Drain the garbanzo beans and dry well with a paper towel.

2
Prep the salad

Destem and roughly chop the kale. Thinly slice the scallions and Thai chiles. Pick the cilantro and mint leaves from the stems and roughly chop.

3
Make the dressing

Supreme the oranges by trimming both ends and cutting away the peel and pith. Working over a medium bowl, remove the flesh segments, then squeeze out the remaining juice. Move the segments to a small bowl. Grate the ginger with a microplane (no need to peel). To the medium bowl with the orange juice, add the ginger, white miso, and sesame oil. Whisk ginger-miso dressing to combine.

4
Sear the vegetables

Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss cabbage and zucchini in 4 tsp olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Add to the hot skillet, turn down the heat slightly, and cook, turning vegetables occasionally until blackened in places and tender, about 4 to 6 minutes.

5
Crisp the garbanzos

Return the skillet to heat, add 2 tsp olive oil, and then the garbanzos. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until browned and crispy in places, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and add 2 tsp smoked nori spice.

6
Build the salad

In a medium bowl, combine 2 tbsp ginger-miso dressing with the chopped kale and massage with your hands until the leaves soften, about 1 minute. Chop the charred vegetables. To serve the salad on a large platter. Add the kale, chopped vegetables, and crispy chickpeas. Top with sliced scallion, chiles, orange, herbs, and remaining smoked nori spice. Serve with remaining ginger-miso dressing. Dig in!
