🌟 Top Tip
You can make this sesame miso dressing in advance, but I recommend adding the coriander leaves (cilantro) at the last minute for the best taste.
👩🏼🍳 Chef's Tips & Serving suggestions
This easy sesame miso salad dressing recipe works well with a salad of raw vegetables, such as red bell pepper, shredded cabbage, sugar snap peas, edamame beans, crunchy bean sprouts, and grated carrots. Top with chopped coriander, roasted cashew nuts, and/or some shredded cooked chicken.
❄️ Storage & Freezing
This dressing will keep for 2-3 days in the fridge. Keep it in an airtight container and avoid adding the fresh herbs til the last minute to avoid them going a bit soggy.
Don't freeze this dressing.
🥣 Equipment
I use a jar to make salad dressings. Shaking it up for maximum emulsification is so simple.
❓Recipe FAQ
What is miso made of?
Miso paste is made from fermented soybeans. It has a delicious, strong, and savory taste with umami undertones, which is why it elevates other dishes so well. You can use it in many ways, for example, by making a miso salad dressing recipe or mixing it into soups or mayonnaise.
What are the types of miso?
White miso, yellow miso, red miso, and brown miso. They range in taste with white miso being the mildest and brown being the strongest.
What flavors pair well with miso?
Honey, soy, and sesame all work well with miso. But it also tastes delicious with sweeter flavors like chocolate, and tropical fruits.
