Japanese salad dressing is a delicious and versatile mixture that reflects Japan's culinary tradition. This dressing, based on fermented ingredients like miso, is popular not only in Japan but has also gained recognition in different Latin American countries. In some places, it may be found simply known as "miso dressing" or "Japanese salad sauce." This recipe combines umami, sweet, and toasted flavors, characteristic of Japanese cuisine, and is commonly used to enhance the taste of fresh salads.
Miso, one of the main ingredients, is a fermented soybean paste that provides depth and richness to the dressing. Its use in dressings is traditional and has crossed borders, adapting to different palates in Latin America, where it is mixed with local ingredients to create new versions of this ancestral sauce.
