Last night I made one of the most delicious salads I have ever eaten using this miso ginger dressing.
I make this salad dressing all of the time because it’s fast, simple, light, and has such a deep delicious flavour.
It’s also oil free, and since I like to pack a lot of healthy fats – nuts, avocado, seeds – into my salads, I generally prefer using a dressing without oil.
This dressing also uses miso, a healthy fermented soy with a deep earthy flavour that reminds me of Japanese cuisine. I love miso soup, miso dressing, miso cod, and eggplant baked in miso!
Last night I threw together a quick salad with dinosaur kale, romaine, sprouts, broccoli, avocado, tomato, hemp seeds, a dash of cayenne and this delicious dressing.
I covered my salad, but kept a little bowl on the side for dipping purposes. I love dipping.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t lick the bowl clean. This dressing has such an incredible flavour that I in food heaven moment as I devoured this beautiful bowl.
This dressing is great to make ahead and pack for lunches, or throw on any of your favourite salads. It even makes a great dip!
- 3 tbsp miso paste
- 4 tbsp rice vinegar
- 4 tbsp water
- 1 tsp chopped ginger
- 1 tbsp chopped garlic
- Blend in a food processor and serve with your favourite salad! Lasts a few days in a sealed jar.

It would taste better with 4T oil rather than water.
You can definitely make it this way too! Because the miso is so hearty I find it a little much with the oil, but each to their own
Gill, this dressing looks so tasty. I can’t wait to give it a try! Do you think this would keep well in the fridge if I gave it a good shake before using it?
Thanks beautiful! It would definitely keep- I’d say up to 3 days just to keep it fresh! I like to make a big batch and take it to work for a few days and keep it in the fridge there
i think i will make this for my family today – they love miso anything!
Yay! I ate this again today- so addictive!
This dressing was INSANE! It was so good. I used red miso at the recommendation of the little corner organic store called Return to Eden in ATL. Thanks for the recipe! Easy and rockin’ good!
That makes me so happy Anne, I’m glad you love it, this is a staple for me
OMG this dressing ROCKS!! Thanks so much for this…just found it!
Extracted Oil of all kinds if BAD for you folks – Olive, Coconut, Almond or Motor….Forks Over Knives – Movie, “Reversing Heart Disease” – book….. don’t buy the hype…read the truth.
Totally doesn’t need oil to coat the salad….or fingers or spoon! haha! Bless you for sharing this!
So glad you liked it!
