Miso Ginger Dressing
Miso ginger dressing is a creamy, easy, rich, stealthy healthy, lovely dressing for vegetables, salads, fish, chicken, or just about anything else you can think to smother with it. And we could all use more of that sorta thing, yes?
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup raw walnuts
- 1/3 cup white miso
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/4 cup lemon juice from 1 to 2 lemons
- 1/4 cup water
- 1-ounce piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/2 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil
Instructions
- In a blender, combine all ingredients except the oil. Blend until the walnuts are finely ground and the dressing is smooth, about 1 minute.
- With the blender still running, slowly add the oil in a steady stream and blend until emulsified, about 30 seconds. If the dressing seems a little too thick, gradually add a little water at a time until you attain the desired consistency. (You can cover the miso ginger dressing and keep it in the fridge for about a week before using. If the dressing becomes too thick after being refrigerated, gradually whisk in a little water to thin it until it's pourable.)
