MISO DRESSING
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

1 clove garlic minced
1 inch piece of ginger minced
1 tablespoon light miso
2 teaspoons sesame oil
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt & pepper
SALAD
Mixed salad greens or arugula
Tangerine segments (or any orange citrus )
Red onion thinly sliced

Instructions
MISO SHRIMP
In a medium bowl whisk all the marinade ingredients together. Add the prawns and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Thread four prawns on each skewer and cook over a hot grill just a few minutes each side until opaque in color. Place a skewer on top of each salad plate, or may present on a large platter.
MISO DRESSING
In a small bowl combine the first 5 of the dressing ingredients, a dash of salt & pepper. Whisk until incorporated. Slowly drizzle in sesame oil and whisk. Next drizzle olive oil, whisking constantly until emulsified. Taste and adjust dressing as you like. The miso is salty so don’t over do your salt.
SALAD
You can plate salads individually, or plate on a large platter. Place the greens down, sprinkle with the mango slices, red onion, tangerine segments, snap peas. Place your avocado slices down. Top with a skewer of prawns and garnish with chopped cashews & thin slice green onions. Give a nice drizzle of the miso dressing.
Notes
Miso is salty, so do not over do with salt in the marinade or the dressing.
