You guys! I'm going through some SERIOUS Oprah withdrawals. It's really bad. Last week I had a crazy dream where I was trying to find a pair of sunglasses and all of a sudden I was in Walmart and Oprah (who was wearing FLIP FLOPS!) handed me a pair. I woke up before I could hear her sweet voice. Sigh. THEN yesterday while I was driving to work, I pulled up at a stop light and a shiny black suburban passed by. OMG it was Oprah driving the car. Well...not really. It was a woman that looked just like her.
While figuring out what to type in this paragraph, I did a google search for "Oprah Vegan" because I remembered the show where she went vegan for a week with all of her staffers and LOOK! that post was a year ago! WHAT WHAT?! I think this means we're destined to meet. Or if not, maybe someone who knows her really well could get her drunk on Moscow Mules and have her call my voicemail? All I want her to say is TRACY SHUTTERBEAN in her voice. It would seriously make my decade.
I wonder if Oprah would like this salad? I'm pretty sure she would. Besides the base of romaine lettuce, there's a bit of brown rice, avocado chunks, cucumber, nori shreds, edamame, carrots & sesame seeds. It's hearty yet light! I bet she'd ask for more green onion miso dressing. Of course she'd ask for more dressing! That dressing IS SO DANG GOOD.
Without further adieu...
SUSHI ROLL EDAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME SAAAAAAAALAD FOR EVERYONE!
Did I tell you that Cooper can do the Oprah voice now? It's glorious.
And we're off!
First things first. Green onion miso dressing.
Ginger grating & miso!
Green onion chopping.
The star ingredients.
Green onions, ginger, garlic & miso go into a blender. Water goes in too. BLEND!
Green onion miso dressing!
Take the edamame (I always feel like I'm spelling that wrong) and put it in a bowl with a little agave & rice wine vinegar.
Set aside.
Salad ingredient TIME. Get yo' chop on!
Use kitchen scissors for your nori. It's easier than cutting with a knife.
Get all your ingredients together. Look who showed up! Hello, cooled brown rice. Nice of you to stop by.
Lay down a foundation of romaine. Top with dressing. Stir.
Add the rest of your fun stuff.
EDAMAME!! I spelled that right, right?!
Mismatching chopsticks... Go ducks!
Leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
I can't wait for lunch tomorrow!

Too funny, Tracy-- I JUST made this for dinner last night from Isa's book! Great minds think alike! (And what a great cookbook-- I have yet to make a bad recipe from it!)
This is one of the prettiest salads I've seen! I love this idea!
This looks delicious and so pretty, too!
i could just drink that dressing plain, not to mention the entire salad looks heaven-sent!
this looks SO GOOD! and reminds me that I need restock my nori supply...sometimes I eat it like chips.
I love that Cooper does the Oprah voice...totes glorious!
ps I hope your Oprah dreams come true one day!
This salad looks delicious! You should totally include little soundbytes in your post saying something in your Oprah voice... That would be glorious.
Oh yum! I can't wait to try this salad!
Looks delicious! Go Ducks!!
I miss Oprah, too! When is OWN gonna start showing reruns?? I will totally upgrade from basic cable.
This recipe looks ah-mazing! I think it needs a little wasabi, though. When I eat sushi, my husband tells me I am only really using it as a vehile to chow down on wasabi. And...that might be true. :)
This is an awesome idea. It looks delicious, especially the dressing :D
I want to eat this right now! As usual, you are my hero ;)
Tracy..can I steal your lunchbox? Where did you buy the salad dressing container?As a veggie I love sushi--the freshness, the ginger, the wasabi.. making me hungry now!. I would throw in some pickled ginger in my version..but love love this idea.
It's Martha Stewart for Macy's! I LOVE IT.
That needs to get in my mouth RIGHT NOW!
Man, that looks bananas good. I will be having it this weekend...
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! heart you, dottie!
This post is hilarious!!
This is SUCH and awesome idea. Plus, it eliminates the whole chopsticks thing, which, for the life of me, I'll never get the hang of!
The only reason why I use chopsticks....is so I don't eat that fast. Haha!!
This sounds so amazing! I think I might have drooled on my keyboard just reading the title of this post. Definitely trying this out ASAP!
Haha.. You're too funny! I love your Oprah obsession.
I'm having a girls night tomorrow and I think I just found what I'll be making, yummy! It looks to good! I'm thinking some homemade pina colada's, none of the premixed too sweet stuff, would go excellent as well! Yay!
ooooh!!! Pina COLADAS!?!!!! You're living right. Do you use coco lopez? I could eat a can of that stuff.
I want that RIGGGGGGGGHHHHT NOOOOOOWWWWWWW!
also... is your shellac job still holding up?! DANG IT! i need to get my nails did.
held up for 2 weeks! my nails looked kinda crappy and felt gross so i got more put on! I'm a glutton.
I feel healthy just looking at this. so yummy!
Sooo my Aunt lives beside Oprah (true story!).. I'll tell her to invite her over, give her copious amounts of alcohol and call that number ;)! (I'm positive they aren't friends hahah but stranger things have happened!!)
This looks delish!!! Adding it to my list!!
GO DUCKS!! ;) my sons a Beaver... whats a mother to do...
I was just saying the other day about how MUCH I missed Oprah and how with SO many talk shows to choose from during daytime, it's just not the same without Oprah (especially now that I'm on mat leave!). I even did an Oprah voice in a blog comment last night! I share your O love! Oh, and the salad looks so delish! Gonna queue it up for next week's menu!
It's so sad that Cooper will come home from school and Oprah won't be on! What daytime talk shows are there anyways?!! I know of Ellen...
Right now there's a lot of one syllable talk shows...Of course The View, then they came out with The Talk, and then The Chew, I think it comes on after The View? Anyone else think I'm starting to sound like Dr. Seuss? Then there's Anderson Cooper, Nate Berkus, Dr. Phil, Rachel Ray, The Doctors, Dr. Oz. There's this one brit guy, I think it's Jeremy something? Another trashy show trash like Maury, Springer, etc. Wow...I can't believe I actually know all this! I hardly even watch tv during the day! I'm a drawer of useless knowledge, ha! I really do miss Oprah!
Whoa!!! There's a lot more than I thought!!
HOLYCOWIAMMAKINGTHISRIGHTNOW!
Sorry, you just combined so many things I love in one recipe I was a bit verklempt. It was meant to be!
Can you interpret my dream from the other night? I dreamt I was trying to swim away from 2 men who were chasing me. They happened to be extremely good-looking. Also, the substance I was swimming in was pea soup and I was wearing one of those old-fashion, full-length prairie woman dresses and it totally wasn't working out for me. Analyze that!
hmmmm. that's kind of exciting. did you eat any of this pea soup?
maybe you're denying yourself.
I did not. It was more a difficult medium to swim through than a tasty snack. I definitely should be denying myself more. I've been eating like a piggy all weekend! Ha! ;)
Been dreaming about this all day. Want.
This looks soooo delish! I totes agree that Oprah would love it!
I'm a student at University of Oregon, thanks for the ducks shout-out! Even though I know it wasn't for me specifically, I'm just going to pretend. :)
GO DUCKS!!!!
What year are you? What are you studying?!
This salad has been on my to-make list for weeks now. This is extra motivation to get on it!
Oprah would definitely love this salad too.
I live in Sydney, Australia and when she came to visit last year it was a HUGE deal (like in the papers every day tracking her every move huge) and they renamed the Opera House the Oprah House for that week. I know that doesn't even make sense, but it happened.
And I totally still call it that.
Don't stop calling it Oprah house!!
We are so on the same wavelength! I just made this last night: http://emmycooks.wordpress.com/...brown-rice-sushi-bowl/ Next time I will try that good looking dressing of yours.
Stuck at work and SO HUNGRY. I wish this was my lunch!
you. are. hilariousssss.
Definitely going to try this dressing. I love a good miso dressing. The Oprah talk was truly hilarious - I could hear you talking as I read it.
Hi Tracy,
I just found your blog, and I am so glad I did! This salad looks out of this world good! I should know better than to read food blogs when I'm hungry, but this one has tipped me over the edge. Time to go get some lunch!
~Emily~
Making this tonight for my stich n'b*tch. Can't wait to try it!!!
Thank you for sharing the recipe. A lot of pictures sure help.
