MBG’s Bliss Salad WIth Ginger Miso Dressing

"I'm a wee bit obsessed with this salad and have eaten it every day for a whole week without getting tired of it. I think that's because it makes me feel positively blissful when I eat it. It's loaded with superfoods and protein, and the Ginger Miso Dressing is the perfect touch to bring a little brightness to the salad.  Get ready to get blissed out, because I am pretty sure this will become your new favorite go-to salad." - MBG
