    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.

    A healthy diet is so key to many aspects of our lives. Diet plays a huge role in disease gene deregulation, it requires less time at the gym with a trainer (more energy, less extra weight, & better recovery), diet helps with brain fog making us feel more clear headed, stronger teeth and better smelling breath is a great side effect, your skin care routine will thank you as well (more hydrated, less blemishes)! 
Because you feel so energetic, clear headed and strong, you end up with more confidence, self love and therefor self respect. This snowballs into less self sabotage and more self control! 
There are so many reasons why putting the time and energy into cleaning up your diet PAYS OFF!

    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this ye
    I want to introduce you to a term I coined this year. I was trying so hard for so long to describe a way of cooking that is from the soul, tapping into a skill we all have deep down but often don’t recognize or trust in: Intuitive Cooking. Not intuitive eating, but intuitive cooking! It's a type of cooking that comes from within! Not looking outside yourself but looking within; knowing and trusting yourself. Using flavors, ingredients, fruits/vegetables, and spices you love, and then applying all the cooking knowledge you have from your years of eating breakfast lunch, and dinner. Having fun in the kitchen. Seeing cooking as an art. 
So often we give our power away to recipes or people called experts. You know - those chefs or bloggers that seem “better at cooking” than you are. 
So often we assume others must know more than we do. And this diminishes our own trust in our abilities.  But I’m gonna tell you a secret: you are a creator in the kitchen with artistic abilities you have yet to discover or acknowledge. Trust yourself; and you’ve taken your first step towards better health and taking your power back. 
This right here is what I call the fridge dump dinner. I took whatever I had leftover in the fridge and made a nutritious meal from it. Read more on my blog: link to blog article in my bio.
