My favorite thing about this salad is how versatile it is. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I like to add some chopped bacon or crumbled feta cheese to mine.

I made this salad last weekend and it was such a refreshing and delicious change from my usual pasta salad recipes. The ginger and miso give it a really nice flavor, and it's a great way to use up leftover pasta.

I've never really liked miso paste, but I gave this recipe a try and I am so glad I did! The miso is not overpowering at all, and the whole salad is so delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
