This vibrant miso-mustard dressing is a versatile addition to any plant-based repertoire, offering a sophisticated balance of salty umami and bright acidity. The combination of fermented white miso and punchy mustard creates a rich, creamy texture without the need for dairy, while a hint of maple syrup mellows the sharp citrus notes. It is a fantastic way to add depth to simple green leaves or earthy roasted root vegetables.
As a nutritious vegan condiment, this dressing is packed with the savoury flavour of miso and heart-healthy fats from the olive oil. It keeps well in the fridge for several days, making it an excellent option for midweek meal prep. Try it drizzled over a warm grain bowl or used as a flavourful dip for crunchy raw crudités.
