Miso Tahini Dressing

Eden Mayo

Report

This delicious miso tahini dressing is umami-packed and flavourful. The plant-based sauce pairs perfectly with kale salad, Brussels sprout slaw or a simple green salad. Or drizzle it over grain bowls and roasted vegetables.This miso tahini dressing recipe yields about half a cup of dressing.

Instructions

Add the vinegar and grated garlic clove to a medium-sized bowl. If you have time, allow the garlic to mellow in the vinegar for 5 minutes before continuing with the recipe.
Add the tahini paste, miso paste, grated ginger, maple syrup, soy sauce and sesame oil (if using). Whisk together until everything is well combined. Don't worry if the mixture seizes up – the next step will sort that out.
Add cold water one tablespoon at a time, whisking as you go. Keep adding water until you get a creamy yet pourable consistency – you'll likely need 2 tablespoons of water.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with a pinch of salt for a savoury boost, and serve. If you're serving the dressing in a bowl, sprinkle it with toasted sesame seeds for visual contrast and a pleasing crunch.

Notes

This tahini miso dressing will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Whisk in a splash of water to if the dressing thickens in the fridge.
When I serve the tahini miso sauce as a dip, I like to reserve the sesame oil to drizzle over the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
The toasted sesame oil adds a rich nutty flavour to the dressing. But you can omit it for an oil-free dressing. See the ingredients section for more detail on ingredients and substitutes suggestions.
