Miso Garlic Roasted Tofu Caesar Salad Food

MISO CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whisk together the mayonnaise, miso, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire and garlic in a medium bowl. While continuing to whisk, slowly drizzle in the oil until smooth and glossy. Add the Parmesan and stir just to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the salad: Toss together the romaine, napa cabbage and red cabbage in a large bowl. Pour half the dressing over the salad and mix with tongs to coat. Taste the salad and add more dressing if you like; store the remaining dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
• Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, top with the crispy wontons and serve immediately.

GRILLED CAESAR SALAD WITH YELLOW MISO

Steps:

• Whisk the miso, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice with 2/3 cup of the oil in a bowl until smooth. Whisk in 1/4 cup water to thin out the dressing. Add 1 cup of the Parmesan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat a large grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat. Cut the romaine and radicchio in quarters lengthwise, leaving some of the stem attached to each quarter. Brush the romaine and radicchio liberally with the miso Caesar dressing. Grill until the outer leaves are lightly charred, about 3 minutes total. Do not crowd the grill; grill in batches if needed.
• Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of the oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill until slightly charred on both sides and just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes total. Transfer to a mixing bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the miso Caesar dressing.
• Brush the inside of the baguette with the remaining oil and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place cut-side down on the grill and cook until lightly charred and warmed through, about 3 minutes. Cut into 4 equal pieces.
• To assemble, divide the grilled romaine and radicchio among 4 large plates. Scatter an equal amount of shrimp on each plate and sprinkle everything with the remaining Parmesan. Serve with the grilled bread and remaining miso Caesar dressing on the side.

MISO-GARLIC-ROASTED TOFU CAESAR SALAD

Steps:

• Directions 1. Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 425°F. Coat a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. To prepare tofu: Pat tofu dry and cut into 3/4-inch cubes. Combine lemon juice, miso and garlic in a large bowl. Add the tofu and gently toss to coat. Spread the tofu in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake on the upper oven rack, turning two or three times during baking, until browned, for 18 to 20 minutes. 3. To prepare croutons: Toss bread with oil, pepper and salt in a medium bowl. Spread in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake on the lower oven rack, turning two or three times during baking, until browned and crisp, for 12 to 14 minutes. 4. To prepare dressing & assemble salad: Whisk oil, lemon juice, miso and garlic in a large bowl. Add lettuce, radicchio and Parmesan; toss to coat. Serve topped with the tofu and croutons. Note: Miso is a fermented soybean paste that adds flavor to dishes like soups, sauces and salad dressings. It is available in different colors, depending on whether it's made with barley-, rice- or soy-based mold. In general, the lighter the color, the milder the flavor. It will keep, in the refrigerator, for at least a year. Any type of miso will work in this recipe. To Make Ahead: Prepare through Step 3; cover and refrigerate tofu and store croutons airtight at room temperature for up to 2 days.
