Miso-Carrot-Cucumber Salad image

This lightly seasoned salad was a favorite of mine growing up, close to a sunomono, a Japanese cucumber salad dish. I've added sweet, spiralized carrots here, and Mom likes to add extra fresh ginger to this refreshing summer side dish.

I was a little skeptical about the miso dressing, but it was actually really good. It gave the salad a nice umami flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salad turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt.
