Cooking Tips
Cooking Tips
- 1. Miso really lends itself to balancing flavors instead of using oil. You can also use chickpea miso for a soy-free version. The miso helps balance the acidity of the lemon.
- 2. The tahini helps balance the acidity of the lemon. You can leave it out, but the salad will be exceptionally tart.
