Miso-Ginger Dressing
The creamy texture and mild, sweet-salty flavor of white miso, also called shiro miso, worked best for this dressing. Walnuts gave it richness and body. If the dressing becomes too thick after being refrigerated, gradually whisk in water to thin it.
Don’t toast the walnuts. They provide texture, but their flavor should be subtle. Toasting them makes them too assertive.

1/3 cup white miso
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, plus ¼ cup lemon juice (1 to 2 lemons)
1/4 cup water
1 -ounce piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

This is so tasty. I made a big salad with some roasted chicken breast for dinner, doused in this dressing. It’s incredible. It’s awesome to have an alternative to vinaigrette.
This is a great dressing on bitter greens. The dressing seems to calm the assertive greens. I've made it several times. Love it.
