    Simple Ginger Miso Dressing

    Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

    As I always say - great dressings make or break a plant-based meal. It's all in the sauce, trust me. This simple ginger miso dressing is quick, delicious and heart healthy. Add it to any salad for a wonderful meal.

    One of my favorite things to order at a sushi restaurant is the ginger miso house salad. It's so fresh tasting and kind of sweet but also tangy.

    Years ago I decided to replicate it at home using healthy ingredients. I am not sure how close this recipe is to the real thing but it sure tastes amazing either way. Light, no creamy ingredients, just sesame oil whipped in the blender gives that creamy type of texture.

    Some other salads this dressing would be great on:

    Vegan Chinese Chicken Salad

    Arame Seaweed Salad

    Ginger Miso Dressing Ingredients

    What I love about this recipe is that I usually have all these ingredients on hand. This dressing is made from basic plant-based pantry staples so it makes it easy (not extra last minute amazon orders).

    ingredients for ginger miso dressing spread out on a countertop.
    • Lemon juice
    • Fresh ginger root
    • Toasted sesame oil
    • Miso paste
    • Sea salt
    • Raw garlic cloves
    • Mirin
    • Sweetener (optional)

    See recipe card for quantities.

    Dressing Instructions

    To make this dressing, I like to use a Vitamix or blender. You can just whisk it together in a bowl as well. But the creamy texture is from the blending.

    Combine all ingredients in the blender and blend until creamy.

    You can use this dressing on any type of salad. For this blog post, I used spinach. But you can shred carrots or beets or cucumber and zucchini. I made it once and poured it over thinly sliced cucumber. It was a perfect texture for the delicate watery cucumber.

    Hint: you can add sweetener but mirin comes already sweet. If you are in the mood for a bit more sweetness try agave nectar in this recipe.

    Recipe Substitutions

    There isn't a lot you can do here for substitutions. But I have a few fun options.

    • Orange juice - instead of lemon use orange juice
    • Rice vinegar - instead of mirin use rice vinegar and then sweetened with extra agave nectar
    • Olive oil - if you don't have sesame oil, use olive oil - this will totally change the flavor but it's still a delicious and healthy dressing.

    This recipe is already very allergen friendly. So no need to swap much in that sense.

    Equipment

    This recipe is great in that you don't need any extra equipment. Just a bowl and a fork or whisk (for whisking). I used the Vitamix to make my dressing extra creamy but it's not necessary.

    Storage

    Store dressing in an air tight jar. Keep in the fridge. Good for 2-3 days.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
