Store it in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Give it a good shake or stir before using, as the dressing may separate a bit as it sits.

What should I serve with this sesame miso ginger dressing?

Drizzle it over garlic ginger chicken power bowls, Asian noodle salad , green salads , grain salads , roasted vegetables , grilled chicken , salmon , steak or shrimp.

What types of miso can I use for miso vinaigrette?

White miso paste is my favorite for this recipe because it’s mild, slightly sweet and blends really well with the lime, ginger and sesame flavors. Yellow miso also works, but it has a slightly stronger flavor. Red miso is the boldest and saltiest of the three, so if you use it, start with a little less and taste as you go.

Instructions

In a small blender cup or food processor, combine 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 tablespoon white miso paste, 2 teaspoons sugar, ¼ cup avocado oil, 1 clove grated garlic, ½-inch knob grated ginger, 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil, a pinch of red pepper flakes and ⅛ teaspoon sea salt.

Notes

Mirin: Mirin is a Japanese sweet rice wine that you can find in the international foods aisle of most grocery stores. If you don’t have mirin, you can use seasoned rice vinegar, but start with half as much, as it is less sweet and more acidic. You may need a touch more sugar for balance.

Miso paste: I use white miso paste, but you could use red or yellow, it’ll just have a slightly different flavor. You can find miso paste in the Asian foods aisle at most grocery stores.

Toasted sesame oil: Friends, make sure it is toasted! It really does make a flavor difference.
