I am in LOVE with this Keto Ginger Salad Dressing! Packed with good for you ingredients, this salad dressing comes together in minutes and can be enjoyed all week long. White miso, ginger, tahini, garlic...how can this salad dressing not possibly taste amazing!
Let's face it...Salads can get quite boring.
I mean, whoever says that their favourite dish is salad?!
However, if you make the most amazing salad dressing that adds a ton of flavour, who wouldn't claim salad to be at the top of their favourite dish list.
And making your own salad dressing at home could not be any easier.
So, gather up your measuring spoons and let's make this simple and delicious Miso Ginger Salad Dressing!
What ingredients do you need to make this Keto Miso Ginger Dressing:
- ginger (about 1-inch fresh ginger root)
- garlic
- soy sauce or coconut aminos
- white miso
- tahini (or almond butter)
- sweetener
- rice vinegar
- apple cider vinegar
- toasted sesame oil
- avocado oil (or olive oil)
What is are the different types of miso and how to they differ?
Here is what I found on The Kitchn website:
White Miso:
- made from soybeans that have been fermented with a large percentage of rice.
- resulting colour can range from white to light beige
- has a definite sweet taste
- best used in condiments like mayo or salad dressings, or in light sauces
Yellow Miso:
- made from soybeans that have been fermented with barley and sometimes a small percentage of rice.
- can be yellow to light brown in colour.
- has a mild, earthy flavour and is better for general use in not only condiments, but soup, marinades, and glazes.
Red Miso:
- made from soybeans fermented with barley or other grains, though with a higher percentage of soybeans and/or a longer fermentation period.
- can range in colour from red to dark brown.
- the deep umami flavour of red miso can overwhelm mild dishes but is perfect for hearty soups, braises, and glazes.
Black Miso:
- some sources say this paste is made entirely from soybeans, others say that it’s made from soybeans fermented with hearty dark grains like buckwheat.
- the strongest flavoured miso around (tastes a bit like marmite!).
What if I don't have fresh ginger?
You can replace fresh ginger with the following:
Dorot Frozen Crushed Ginger: 3 blocks (1 block equals 1 teaspoon so you need 3 teaspoon to equal 1 tbsp)
Dried Ginger Powder: ¼ teaspoon of dried ginger will equal the flavour of 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger
What else can I use this low carb dressing on?
- pour some over riced cauliflower
- use it as a dipping sauce for salmon or chicken
- drizzle it over some Quick and Easy Parmesan Roasted Broccoli
