Miso Salad Dressing

Kumquat spinach salad with Miso dressing | Something New For Dinner This miso salad dressing is lick-your-fingers good. I particularly like it in a spinach salad with a variety of fruits and either almonds or walnuts. In the summer I use strawberries, green onions and almonds and in the winter it is delicious with Korean pears, Fuyu persimmons, pomegranates and walnuts. This miso salad dressing is also delicious drizzled on roasted vegetables like broccoli, asparagus and carrots.

What Type of Miso?

Miso is a paste made from fermented soy beans, and in some cases, rice, barley or soy. It comes in a variety of types.

White Miso

White, shiro miso, (which is really a beige/yellow color) is the mildest, sweetest and least salty. It is fermented for the shortest amount of time. I prefer white miso for this salad dressing, but yellow miso can be substituted.

Yellow Miso

Yellow miso, or shinshu miso, is a little stronger and more pungent.

Red Miso

Red, or aka miso, is the strongest, saltiest and most pungent and is fermented the longest.

Why is Miso Healthy?

Miso is a fermented product that is low in calories, rich in nutrients and antioxidants and contains probiotics that are good for your gut health. It is important to buy unpasteurized miso, so that the gut-healthy microbes are not killed off in the pasteurization process. Cold Mountain makes unpasteurized miso and is readily available in many grocery stores.

    I love miso dressing and I had no idea how easy it was to make. This will be a staple dressing to make for the week for my family. I served it with a salmon salad, and it was the perfect dressing.

      Thank you Rebecca, I agree, this miso dressing is almost drinkable it is so good. Plus, if you buy miso with live cultures, you are loading your gut biome with important probiotics. I do like to make a big batch to have in my fridge to snack on with fresh vegetables. If your kids don’t like roasted broccoli, give them some of this miso dressing to dip it in and watch the broccoli disappear!
