To kick off my vegan April, I treated myself to a tasty salad topped with tofu, cucumber, and a refreshing sesame miso dressing. The soy sauce marinated tofu chunks were leftovers from a dinner and were the perfect protein addition. I wish this fabulous sesame miso dressing were my own creation, but no, I got the recipe from <a title=\"Sesame Miso Dressing\" href=\"http:\/\/savorysweetlife.com\/2012\/07\/sesame-ginger-miso-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">here<\/a>. I didn&#8217;t have fresh ginger, so I skipped that and it was still tasty.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, I stopped buying salad dressing at the grocery store and vowed to make my own dressing from now on. It&#8217;s convenient to have bottled dressing around, but when you examine the ingredients more closely, you&#8217;ll often find many undesirable ingredients in there. It only takes a few extra minutes to make your own dressing using a few basic ingredients. A hand whisk works for mixing the dressing, but I prefer the immersion blender.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be sharing more vegan meals soon, but follow me on <a title=\"XO Waz \" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/xowaz\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a> to see it all as it happens!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 36px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve posted a homemade meal, hasn&#8217;t it?
