This Asain inspired kale and shaved brussel sprout salad from The Little Spice Jar is one of my favorites. It is healthy and satisfying and works nicely as a main course salad. It is the perfect combination of healthy greens, shredded chicken, crunchy peanuts, pungent cilantro, and a yummy, tangy ginger miso dressing. It is just as delicious without the chicken for a vegetarian option. Enjoy!
