Conventional wisdom says that salads should be dressed with vinaigrettes, which, by definition, balance an acid with a fat. Turns out you can break that rule by dropping the acid entirely. In this hearty, satisfying salad, we make a “vinaigrette” with a combination of soy sauce and dashi. Earthy sweet potatoes, bitter arugula, and crushed toasted walnuts are tossed in the dressing for an easy, deeply flavorful dish.
