    Light and Creamy Miso and Roasted Sesame Dressing

    We have a great little Asian supermarket close by that we usually frequent on a Sunday to get some fresh fish for homemade poké bowls.

    I am not one for repeating meals, but their fish is amazing and sustainably fished so I just can't help myself, and it has become our little ritual (for now...I am sure I will get bored soon).

    Last time we were there they had a little cooking demo going on to promote one of their creamy miso dressings.

    It was delicious, and a quick look at the ingredients sent me home to try my hand at my own version.

    Here we are.

    Light and Creamy Miso and Toasted Sesame Dressing

    Ingredients

    This dressing is just delicious on a nice cold noodle salad with lots of veggies.

    It would also go great on a nice piece of fish or grilled chicken if you would like to give it a bit of an Asian flavor.

    It is a cinch to bring together and doesn't use any fancy or 'out-there' ingredients.

    You will need:

    • rice vinegar;
    • extra virgin olive oil;
    • mayonnaise or veganaise: I like to use the kewpie brand for dressings like this;
    • white shiro miso: this can be found in a jar on the shelf or in the cold section if you want the fresh stuff;
    • toasted sesame oil;
    • tamari: look for gluten-free if that is something you prefer. You can always sub in some regular soy sauce if you prefer, but be mindful of the salt content and reduce the amount you use accordingly;
    •  honey: you can always sub with another runny sweetener of choice like agave if you prefer;
    • toasted sesame seeds;
    • sea salt.

    Most of these ingredients should be easily found in the Asian section of your grocery store.

      This sounds utterly divine. I make my own salad dressings all the time, but I've never tried it with miso before. I have an asian noodle salad that I make regularly and I think this would be perfect with it. Bonus that your recipe doesn't have peanuts -- meaning my peanut-averse daughter can eat it!

        Perfect!! I actually made this peanut free on purpose as I was making food for peanut-averse dinner guests, but I was really craving these Asian flavors. The miso works so well in noodle salads!

    Hello and welcome, I'm Donna!

    I am so glad you are here!

    Since I have a part-time job, 3 little kids, and a love of good food (as do you I assume), I have learned how to get the most out of the kitchen in the smallest amount of time.

    Forget about hunting down weird ingredients and making trips to specialty shops.

    We are going to make the most of what is available at the store and farmer's markets all whilst enjoying some delicious meals the whole family (hopefully...if you have fussy eaters I guarantee nothing) will enjoy.

    Pop on that apron and let's get creative in the kitchen!
