Miso Vinaigrette Recipe

I could drink this dressing like soup. Seriously. It’s one of my most popular, most delicious homemade dressings. The miso adds incredible umami, complemented by bright lemon juice (yes, it must be freshly squeezed) and cheesy, creamy nutritional yeast. The best part is it features mostly pantry staples, so it’s easy to whisk together for a weeknight salad. Below the recipe, find my favorite salads topped with miso vinaigrette—or just make it and pour over everything, I won’t judge.
