Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons White miso paste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
• 1 teaspoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral oil (such as canola or grapeseed)
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 clove Garlic, finely grated
• 1 pinch Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, Dijon mustard, and rice vinegar until smooth and well incorporated.

Step 2

Add the honey (or maple syrup), soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated garlic to the bowl. Continue whisking until fully combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the neutral oil while whisking constantly to emulsify the dressing.

Step 4

Add water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. The dressing should be pourable but not too thin.

Step 5

Season with a pinch of freshly ground black pepper, tasting and adjusting any ingredients as needed (e.g., more vinegar for tang or honey for sweetness).

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a clean jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use. Shake well before serving.
