Miso Vinnaigrette:

- 1/3 cup of white wine vinegar

- 2 tbsp Miso

- 1 clove of garlic, chopped

- 2 tbsp honey

- 1/4 cup of water

- 1/4 cup of basil leaves

- 1 cup olive or sesame oil

In a blender or food processor, mix all ingredients except the oil at high speed. Once the ingredients are blended into a paste, slowly drizzle in the oil. Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired; use caution as Miso is quite salty. *Olive oil will give a more neutral taste where sesame oil presents a distinct flavor. Other vegetable oils can be substituted if desired*
