Melissa Ben-Ishay gained fame for her mini cupcake brand, Baked By Melissa. Recently, though, she’s become a TikTok sensation for her salad-making skills. She’s inspired us to craft our version of her famous dippable salad.
Now, Melissa shares a recipe that’s become our new favorite, alongside her Green Goddess Salad. She transforms the classic Cobb salad by swapping romaine for kale and introducing a homemade miso dressing that surpasses any store-bought option. Adding homemade crispy fried shallots gives it an extra crunch.
Ingredients
Method
- Step 1: Prepare the miso vinaigrette by whisking together all ingredients except the oil. Gradually add the oil while whisking until the vinaigrette is well combined.
- Step 2: For the crispy shallots, toss shallots with flour in a bowl until fully coated. Season with salt and pepper. Fry in avocado oil over medium-high heat until crispy and caramelized, about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Step 3: Assemble the salad by tossing kale, avocado, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, scallions, and chicken with your preferred amount of vinaigrette. Top with fried shallots and serve. Enjoy your revamped Cobb salad!
