This tahini citrus miso dressing is a great way to flavor so many foods

Throughout my life, I've rarely bought store-bought dressings, and each time I did, I wished I had made my own from scratch.

Nothing beats the taste of homemade dressings, I am expecially addicted to tahini ones, like my turmeric tahini dressing.

I love having control over all the ingredients and knowing that I'm using only nourishing items, like this vegan avocado pesto.

This dressing pairs really well with different salads, like my fresh cucumber carrot salad, but it’s not limited to just salads, try it with roasted veggies or grain bowls too.

Ingredients Highlight

an orange, lime, white bowls with miso paste, tahini, white vinegar, garlic, salt and ginger laid out

The complete list of ingredients with measurements, can be found in the full recipe card below.

I used freshly squeezed oranges for a bit of sweetness without adding any syrups or granular sugars and when combined with fresh lime juice the overall citrus flavor is refreshing against the creaminess and nuttiness of tahini.

To enhance the citrus flavor, I included some rice wine vinegar, which really elevates the overall brightness taste.

For an umami flavor, I used a light-colored miso paste, made from fermented soybeans. The light-colored variety isn’t as potent in flavor as the dark-colored miso paste, which helps to keep this dressing refreshing and complement the foods it's being paired with. You can also use miso in this dumpling soup .

Janelle’s Tips

You can easily adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. If you like it tangier, add more lime juice. If you prefer a more savory taste, add more miso paste, and so on. 

If you want to add some spiciness, simply include more ginger and either fresh or dry chili. I love doing this when I use this dressing with my noodle salad.

Next try this orange vinaigrette, it's a nice one to keep in your dressing collection.
