Miso turmeric dressing recipe
Miso turmeric dressing is a flavorful and nutritious condiment that combines the umami richness of miso with the earthy notes of turmeric. The miso contributes a semi-sweet, savory flavor, while turmeric adds an earthy depth. Together, they create a vibrant flavor that can elevate salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.
Miso turmeric dressing boasts impressive health benefits from its key ingredients. Turmeric is rich in curcumin, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Miso packs with probiotics.
This salad dressing is perfect for salads, grain bowls, or as a marinade. It pairs well with crisp greens like iceberg lettuce, watercress, or Asian greens, enhancing their flavors with its umami richness.
It complements grains like quinoa, brown rice, and soba noodles, along with proteins like tofu, fish, tempeh, and chicken. You can use it with roasted veggies like cauliflower, eggplant, or as a dip for crudités. It even works blended into hummus or served with baked sweet potatoes, miso chickpeas, or turmeric ginger superkraut.
