Maple miso dressing 🍁

The official autumnal cousin to lime miso vin

Yesterday a convicted felon and rapist was voted in by millions of people to become arguably the most powerful leader in the world. About two hours into watching the polls, surrounded by good friends and comforting food, we knew. We were silent, anxiously checking our phones for other publications’ projections, hoping it might magically change. Eventually we woke up to the news that this country is once again a terrifying place for immigrants, women, trans people and all marginalised communities to exist in. It’s impossible to say how sad I am for anyone who lives here.

I made this for our lunch the other day when vegetables were necessary after days of eating various forms of bread at every meal. To me, this is perfect with bitter leaves, deep orange pumpkin (or in this case, persimmons, because it’s still 22ºC in LA!) and roasted nuts. We threw in some charred broccoli and a few shavings of goat gouda (revelation!).

For the dressing you’ll need (serves two as a main – or one big salad to share)
