Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp white miso paste
  • ½ tbsp fresh ginger

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds, optional
  • 3 tbsp water
  • Salt
  • Pepper

Instructions

  • Add the minced garlic to a chopping board. Cover in a pinch of flakey salt, then use the side of your knife to squish and drag the garlic across the board. Do this until you achieve a paste.
  • Combine all of the ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and whisk until everything is incorporated. Then, slowly whilst continuously whisking, add the water.
  • Taste to adjust the seasoning , adding more honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing, and some chilli flakes if you like a little spice. Enjoy!

Notes

Whisk everything together first, then slowly pour in the water while whisking for the smoothest texture.
If using red miso, reduce quantity to 1 tbsp since it's stronger.
Taste before dressing your salads to see if you’d like more sweetness, and add more honey.
If the miso thickens in the fridge, whisk in a bit of warm water before serving and it will loosen right up.
