Miso Sesame Dressing

Miso Sesame Dressing

Found it hard to take a picture of dressing,...so I'm posting sans photos. But nevertheless, this dressing is amazing. It's my new jam right now...I'm using it on everything from salads, to roasted potatoes, to Buddha bowls, you name it....It's amazing.

1 Tbsp. minced ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 T white Miso (32g)
3 T agave or to taste ( I like mine on the sweet side)
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. Sesame oil
pinch of chili powder
and water to thin out as necessary

Place everything in a mini-blender and blend until creamy and smooth, adjusting with water as necessary to get the right consistency.

Enjoy!
