Miso-Lime Dressing

From Chef Susan Pasko

This is one of those super quick blender dressings….
No whisking, no drizzling, no fuss.  Very versatile.

Yield: 1 1/2 cups.  Keeps for about 10 days.

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 scallions, sliced into roughly 1″ lengths
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup lime juice (about 4 limes)
1/2 cup neutral oil such as grape-seed or safflower
2 teaspoons tamari or soy sauce
3 tablespoons light miso
2 tablespoon plain yogurt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Method:

Place everything in a blender and blend on low until well-combined, stopping the motor and scraping down sides if necessary.  Then blend on high until smooth.

Thoughts:
— This recipe produces a thick dressing.  If you want it thinner, just add a little more water.  For more intense miso flavor, choose a dark miso.

— Add fresh grated ginger and some dark sesame oil for an Asian flavor.
