The nutrition facts should be updated. Miso paste definitely has sodium in it. The nutrition facts currently say it has no sodium. This can be dangerous to people who need to watch their sodium.

This made such a small amount of dressing. More of a single serve. I also found it a bit sharp and unbalance without a sugar/maple syrup to round out the citrus. I had to bulk it up with something, so I ended up adding tahini and made it into a different dressing in the end.

Wow, I love ginger but never used it in a salad dressing. What a delicious combination. I think I will try it with Asian inspired cabbage salad. Thank you for your wonderful inspiration, Meredith

Thanks Gabi! Ginger is definitely one of my favorite flavors in asian-inspired sauces... and it adds so much to this miso salad dressing. I hope you enjoy it!

This dressing sounds so flavourful. I love the combination of ingredients! I don't know why I don't prepare salad dressings in advance and keep them in the fridge. I really should!

Jacqueline - I find that pre-making a few favorite healthy salad dressings saves so much time! I often eat delicious salads made up of greens and leftovers topped with one of these salads for a quick dinner or at-home lunch.
