Spicy Sweet and Sour Sesame Cabbage Salad

Tonight I made a tasty new coleslaw. It's super simple to make if you have a blender or food processor. I plan to take it for lunch and top it with green onions, cilantro, tofu, and pumpkin seeds.

Spicy Sweet and Sour 
Sesame Cabbage Salad
1/2 a small red cabbage, shredded
1 large bunch Italian kale, removed from stems and sliced into ribbons
For Dressing
1/2 cup raw red beets, grated
1 Tbs brown rice miso
juice of 2 limes
2 Tbs seasoned brown rice vinegar
1 Tbs toasted sesame oil
1 inch piece of ginger, cut into smaller pieces
4 squirts of hot sauce (like Sriracha)
Optional toppings (use any combination of these that you like)
cilantro
green onions
fresh basil
toasted sesame seeds
toasted pumpkin seeds
tofu

Puree all dressing ingredients in a food processor or blender. You will need to scrape down the sides several times to get it well-mixed. It won't be totally smooth, but don't worry, it tastes great on the cabbage and kale and has a nice texture.
Transfer dressing to a large bowl. Add cabbage and kale and mix well. Top with whichever optional ingredients you like.
