Best Ginger Miso Dressing

Who doesn’t love a great salad? More importantly, who doesn’t love a great ginger miso dressing? This recipe is by far my vote for the best ginger miso dressing. This is another great dressing that works well as a dip for spring rolls or egg rolls.

In my world, salads are a main staple. I’m always looking for ways to make vegetable more delicious. And for good reason.

This delicious miso dressing is not only versatile and great with asian-style food, it is the best recipe I’ve found for even fussy palettes, for any dish.

 

Benefits of Ginger Miso Dressing

As always, I like to take a look at why you’d like to have this recipe versus just buying a dressing at the grocery store. Ginger is exceptional with digestion and olive oil has plenty of its own benefits! According to Healthline, olive oil has anti-inflammatory properties as well as being an antioxidant (besides being versatile!). Ask anyone on the Mediterranean diet! Whether you have chick pea miso or soy miso, you are introducing still another healthy element which is fermented chick peas or soybeans. For more on why this is so great, you can look here.

The other ingredients listed below have a ton of benefits such as lemons (vitamin c) or sea salt (better than table salt without iodine). Listed are my favorite products as I look for clean and organic as much as possible. Please comment if you have opinions about the products picked.
