Notes
What style of salad should I use for this dressing?
Just about any! Wafu dressing is perfect for leafy greens, raw veggies, or basically any kind of salad where you’re looking for a burst of sweet + savoury + tart flavour. Use it with finely shredded cabbage for a simple side dish, or pour it over freshly sliced cucumber, tomato and iceberg lettuce. We also love it paired with crunchy julienned carrots.
In addition to salads, it’s also great for pouring over noodle bowls, rice dishes, and steamed or stir-fried veggies. You can even use it as a steak sauce or dipping sauce for enoki beef rolls.
