I went back to my old standby Cooking Light magazine for inspiration tonight. We adapted the Miso Glazed Steak salad to fit us. This was a great summer meal! It was the perfect blend of spicy and refreshing.
Hayley came over and we did week 5 day 2 before hand. When we got in we were ready to eat and this was great because it came together super fast and David was grilling while I showered. I had to adjust the ingredients a little to make it appropriate for the grill and I didn’t have any white miso so I just used what was on hand.
Hayley suggested we try the recipe with fish. I was like, “shrimp, shrimp, shrimp” but then David said, “What about seared tuna?” Wow, genius!
