Recipe Notes
This dressing is all about balance. Red miso provides gentle umami, while fresh ginger brings brightness and a subtle bite. The rice vinegar adds just enough acidity to keep everything lively, making this dressing incredibly versatile across salads, bowls, and vegetables.
Using Honey House Clover Honey makes a noticeable difference here. Its light floral sweetness softens the saltiness of the miso without overpowering the other ingredients. Because it’s 100% pure, raw, and American-sourced, the honey blends seamlessly into the dressing and supports clean, intentional flavor.
