Great salad + bad dressing = moderate but slightly bad
OK salad + great dressing = moderate but slightly good
Great salad + great dressing = INSANELY GOOD!!! :)
I like to make my own salad dressing, as many of the commercial dressing have junk in it - high fructose corn syrup, preservatives, MSG, and so on.
I wanted to share my miso dressing recipe with you - a real Japanese style came from my Mom. :)
Miso dressing (for 2 people)
- 3 table spoons miso (I like white miso. You can use red, but I think white tastes better than red for dressing)
- 3 table spoons soy sauce
- 3 table spoons sugar (I use either agave nectar or stevia instead. If you use stevia, you need to adjust the amount, because a tiny bit of it makes it really really sweet)
- 2 table spoons vinegar (You can use Japanese vinegar, if you can get it from the Japanese super market, but it doesn't have to be. I use apple cider vinegar)
- some water to adjust it to your taste
- sesame seed (optional)
Many people try to cut down oil/ fat nowadays. I'm not one of these people, but this dressing is naturally oil/ fat free (unless you chose to use a bit of sesame. You can also add some flax seed oil or olive oil, if you would like. I add a tea spoonful of grounded flax seed) and it tastes great! Try it and let me know how you like it. :)
Happy eating. :)
I made a scallop salad! It was DELICIOUS!! :)
Thanks for the recipe. I've never had miso dressing, but will try it soon.

ReplyDeleteHey Tomoko, sounds awesome! Where can you get good Miso in London?
ReplyDeleteHi Andrew! You know, I haven't found any Japanese grocery stores in London, yet. I'll let you know just as soon as I find them. :)
