Amongst bounding German Shepherd's, a solo roast chicken, Josh O'Connor from Challengers and not going out on a Friday night, I wholeheartedly love a good salad dressing. It's somewhat of a science experiment that must be tailored to your tastebuds. My general guideline is: something tart, something fatty, something salty and something sweet. Everything else is a flavour bonus. Adding a dash of Mother Root gives this dressing a deep, earthy, fiery overtone that works really well with mellow, umami miso, chilli-spiked sugar and freshly grated garlic. Use it to dress halved little gem heads, massage into finely chopped kale or toss through crunchy, bitter leaves like endive or radicchio. Depending on your preference you might want to up the salt, sweet or sourness – whatever works for your tastebuds.
Ingredients
1 tbsp Mother Root Ginger Switchel
1 lime
1 tbsp white miso paste
1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tbsp hot agave or hot honey
1 garlic clove, grated
Method
Whisk all the ingredients together minus the extra virgin olive oil until the garlic, honey and miso paste have dissolved. Pour in the olive oil, stir through and season to taste. It should be salty enough with the miso paste! If you like it a little more gingery, add another tsp of Mother Root.
This dressing is awesome get all those flavours- and have Mother Root! Ginger beer on steroids!!!!
Just made the dressing and it's soooo delicious!!! I now need to make more..🫶 thank you!
