Miso and Tahini are great on their own, but when you mix them together, something magical happens.
It’s got to be the salty sweet combination that has us instantly craving more. So when it covered a bed of arugula and veggies its fine to have just a little more! This salad is great for cooler fall days when you are looking for something more than just a salad. The warm mushrooms and squash make all the difference.
And if you are like me and want to bring this salad to work? I’ve got it all figured out. Pack the arugula separately from the squash and mushrooms. That way you can heat up the veggies before adding them to your arugula. Dress the salad for the ultimate #notsaddesklunch
