Chopped Cashew Chicken Salad

This recipe was recreated from a salad I ordered at Karl Strauss Brewery in Calsbad, CA.  I was inspired to learn how to make a soy reduction which is one of the three recipes that goes into this lovely dish.

Miso Vinaigrette Dressing

I tasted this dressing for the first time while on vacation in Oceanside, CA last month.  It was served on a Chopped Cashew Chicken Salad and it was delicious.

Of course I was inspired to replicate the recipe and am happy with the version I created.
