Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar, unseasoned
  • 2 Tbsp. Tahini
  • 1 Tbsp. tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
  • 1 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
  • 2 tsp. white miso

  1. Whisk: In a small mixing bowl, add all ingredients. Whisk until miso clumps are smoothed out and dissolved.
  2. Shake: Add all ingredients to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake until combined.
  3. Blend: In a small high-speed blender, add all ingredients except sesame seeds. (I use a small Nutri-Bullet which works great.) Blend for 20-30 seconds or until smooth. Then stir in sesame seeds after blending.

Notes

  • Storing: Store the dressing in a sealed glass jar or other container in the refrigerator. Give it a stir again before serving. I find it keeps for about 5 days, but use your best judgement.

  • For gluten-free: Use GF tamari.
