Why Make Miso Dressing?

  • 1 part honey or maple syrup

  2. Whisk Together: Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well combined.

  3. Serve and Enjoy: Drizzle over salads, toss with stir-fries, or use as a marinade for tofu or vegetables.

Customizing Your Miso Dressing

This dressing is easy to adapt to your preferences:

  • Make it spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a little heat.

  • Switch up the sweetness: Use agave syrup or brown rice syrup instead of honey or maple syrup for a different flavor.

  • Add some zest: Stir in fresh ginger or garlic for extra zing.

This miso dressing is a light, flavorful, and healthy option for adding freshness to any dish. Enjoy it on your favorite salads or as a dipping sauce for veggies!
