Ingredients
  

Dressing Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste Adds a deep umami flavor; substitute with yellow miso for a milder taste.
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger Provides a fresh and zesty kick; ground ginger can be used in a pinch.
  • 1 clove garlic Enhances depth and spice; garlic powder works too, but flavor will differ.
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil Adds nuttiness and complexity; can be replaced with lighter oil if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce Perfects the umami profile; substitute with soy sauce for a vegetarian-friendly option.
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar Offers tanginess; fresh lime juice can add a lovely citrus twist.
  • ¼ cup olive oil Acts as the base fat for creaminess; any neutral oil works best.
  • ½ cup mayonnaise Contributes richness and creamy texture; swap with tahini for vegan version.
