Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (60ml) mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) white miso paste (Shiro miso)
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder)
  • 1-2 tablespoons (15-30ml) water

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, miso paste, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, grated ginger, and minced garlic.
  2. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth and well combined. Ensure there are no lumps of miso paste.
  3. Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, whisking until the dressing reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but still creamy.
  4. Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed. You might want a touch more honey for sweetness, a splash more vinegar for tang, or a pinch of salt if needed.
  5. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
