Whip up this quick dressing when you want to use up any ripe or slightly overripe avocado that's too soft for slicing. The miso gives the creamy dressing a delicately sweet complexity, and the lemon and vinegar cut through the buttery avocado. Use this protein-rich dressing to generously coat your hearty green salad, warm grain bowl or vegetables charred on the grill.

CREAMY MISO DRESSING



Creamy Miso Dressing image

A creamy, multipurpose miso dressing. Great on salads, vegetables, or whatever else your heart desires. The ingredients are more true to the Japanese style. Mirin gives the dressing a slightly sweeter, more complex taste, tofu gives the dressing a creamy texture, and the sesame oil adds a distinct Japanese flavor to the finish.

Provided by Bryant Ng

Categories     Bon Appétit     Dinner     Salad     Chicken     Bacon     Ginger     Sesame     Sesame Oil     Green Onion/Scallion     Summer

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 slices bacon
1 (1 1/2-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into very thin matchsticks
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon white miso
2 teaspoons fish sauce
3/4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
Pinch of sugar
4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small rotisserie chicken, skin removed, meat shredded (about 4 cups)
1 head of green leaf lettuce, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick ribbons
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in a dry medium skillet over medium heat, turning slices occasionally, until brown and crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to paper towels; let cool.
  • Cook ginger in a small saucepan of boiling water 1 minute. Drain ginger and rinse under cold water; set aside.
  • Whisk soy sauce, tahini, miso, fish sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.
  • Whisk egg yolk and remaining 2 Tbsp. lemon juice in a medium bowl to combine. Very gradually stream in 1/2 cup vegetable oil (almost drop by drop), whisking constantly until mayonnaise is emulsified and thick. Still whisking constantly, gradually add soy sauce mixture, then remaining 1/4 cup oil. Thin dressing with a tablespoon or two of water if needed; you want it to be the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Toss chicken and 1/2 cup dressing in a large bowl to coat. Add lettuce and another 1/2 cup dressing and toss again; season with salt and pepper. Crumble bacon over.
  • Transfer salad to a serving bowl or platter and drizzle another tablespoon or so of dressing over salad (you may have some left over). Top with scallions, sesame seeds, and reserved ginger.
  • Do Ahead
  • Dressing can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.

Tips:

  • When making the dressing, you can use a blender or immersion blender to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
  • For a more flavorful dressing, use a combination of white and red miso paste.
  • Toasted sesame oil adds a nutty flavor to the dressing. If you don't have any on hand, you can substitute regular sesame oil.
  • If you like your dressing a little spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce.
  • The dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Creamy miso dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for salads, grilled vegetables, tofu, and tempeh. The dressing is also a great way to add flavor to sandwiches and wraps. With its creamy texture and savory flavor, creamy miso dressing is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
