Directions
In a small bowl, combine the orange juice, miso paste, mirin (if using), agave and ginger. Add a bit more water if the consistency is too thick. Leave aside to mingle while you assemble the salad. | |
Reheat the chickpeas and cooked quinoa in a pan, on a low heat. Wash the salad leaves of your choice and arrange in a plate. Drizzle with a bit of dressing. Add the quinoa and chickpeas, pomegranate seeds. Gently heat the almond flakes in a pan, on a very low heat. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. When ready add the almonds to the salad. Drizzle a generous amount of the dressing all over the salad and enjoy. |
