Miso-Sesame Vinaigrette That's Good on Anything image

This all-purpose miso-sesame vinaigrette is great on a simple salad with lettuces and fresh vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, sliced onions, radishes, jicama or grated carrots, or in this Chicken and Cabbage Salad. Try it drizzled on an iceberg wedge, over sliced leftover steak, chicken or tofu, or on grilled seafood, served hot or cold. It's especially good with grilled salmon and spicy greens like watercress, mizuna or arugula.

Time 5m

Yield 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium garlic cloves, smashed with the side of a knife
1 small shallot, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons shoyu or tamari
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons red or white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon light miso paste
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 cup grapeseed, vegetable or canola oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted white or black sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Combine garlic, shallot, shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar in a blender and blend on high speed until homogenous. (Alternatively, mash garlic and shallots in the bowl of a large granite or marble mortar and pestle into a fine paste using the pestle, then stir in the shoyu, vinegars, miso and sugar.)
  • With the blender running on medium speed (the liquid should form a vortex but not jump up and splatter on the walls of the blender), slowly drizzle in the grapeseed oil. (If using a mortar and pestle, slowly drizzle in the oil as you stir vigorously with the pestle.)
  • Transfer to a lidded jar. Stir in the sesame oil and sesame seeds with a spoon. Dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Shake well before using.
