Sesame Miso Vinaigrette

InstaGrandma's Kitchen
This sumptuous vinaigrette is the addictive combination of the salty, umami-filled miso and the nutty, penetrating sesame oil. It has a hint of sweetness from the mirin and maple syrup. Lime juice and rice vinegar round out this universally beloved dressing.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Tbsp red miso paste (substitute white if you want a less intense miso taste)

  • 1 Tbsp rice vinegar (sometimes called rice wine vinegar)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • ½ lime, juiced
  • kosher salt, if needed, to taste

  • In a small saucepan, heat the mirin and miso paste on medium-high heat, whisking continuously until the mixture begins to simmer.
  • While whisking, add the lime juice, maple syrup, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.
