Umami-Rich Miso Dressing

White miso transforms into a silky emulsion that clings perfectly to greens while adding fermented depth without overwhelming delicate leaves. The combination of citrus brightness and nutty sesame creates a dressing that makes even simple lettuces taste complex and satisfying.

Ingredients

2 tbspwhite miso paste
½ tspfresh ginger, grated
4 tbspextra virgin olive oil
1 tbsptoasted sesame oil
1 tbsprice wine vinegar
2 tbspsoy sauce or tamari
½ fresh lemon or lime juice
2 tspwater(optional)

Instructions

Pour the olive oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, and citrus juice into a bowl or mason jar. These liquid ingredients will help break down the miso paste more easily when you add it.
Drop in the miso paste and grated ginger, then whisk vigorously until the mixture is completely smooth. The miso should dissolve entirely — any remaining lumps will create an uneven texture on your salad.
