Love this! I followed the recipe exactly, except used bottled minced ginger instead of fresh. This quantity is about right for 2 large entre green salads.

I used this dressing to make an Asian-flavor pasta salad to serve with salmon. I can see this dressing being used in so many ways. Quite happy with the way it turned out.

I love this recipe for salads and look forward to using it on grilled vegetables.
Jacob Hernandez
This recipe is perfect! It has the right balance of flavour, beautiful umami. I intend to use it for salad and rice/noodle bowls. Yum!
Christopher Rogers
I used a little less honey and it was great.
Madison Calderon
This one is a keeper!
John Stewart
I made this dressing. I tasted it after I made it and nearly poured it down the drain. Then I added more honey and decided to let it sit over night in the fridge. So glad i did. After letting the flavors mellow over night it was delirious.
Diana Hart
This was awesome. Only 1 substitution-I used sugar in place of the honey. Super yummy.
Victor Wright
This is phenomenal! Made an Asian style salad topped with sunflower nuts, this dressing and Ahi Tuna on the side with a drizzle of Siracha sauce. It is a new favorite and very healthy!
Summer Anderson
Easy to make and works as a dressing or dipping sauce!
William Hamilton
Very good! Next time, I’ll probably cut the honey back to just 1 Tb.
Danielle Martin
I used a little less miso and a little more lime and served it over a rice bowl with adzuki beans, green onions, avocado, green leaf lettuce, carrots and peanuts. It was perfect & I’ll definitely make it again!
Jason Robinson
I didn’t have rice vinegar but I had mirin! So I used that, omitted the honey and added a little soy sauce. It was perfect!!
Mason Black

Delicious! I made 4 times the recipe. My family likes their dressing on the tart side, so instead of 5 Tbl. of honey, I only used 3 Tbl. This recipe is a keeper!
Darius Craig
Really like it. Great with toasted almonds and mandarin orange as described.
Thomas Cole
Great flavor – a little goes a long way.
Nicholas White
Excellent as written. Serve with Chef John’s Miso Glazed Barramundi or shredded chicken as a salad.
