Kimchi Vinaigrette Mixed Salad
• For a heartier meal, add baked tofu, tempeh, or cooked soba noodles. • The dressing can be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator. • Adjust the amount of kimchi brine depending on your preferred spice and tang level. • If using very salty kimchi, reduce the soy sauce slightly. • The dressing's combination of kimchi, vinegar, and aromatics creates a tangy, savory flavor profile that pairs especially well with crunchy vegetables. Health Benefits: Kimchi provides beneficial probiotics and fermented compounds that may support gut health and digestion. Cabbage, carrots, and mixed greens contribute fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants that support immune and cardiovascular health. Edamame adds plant-based protein and fiber, helping improve satiety and create a more balanced meal. Fermented ingredients combined with colorful vegetables offer a diverse range of nutrients that support overall wellness.
