All the reviews are so glowing that I'm nervous to say I was not as pleased. I made it precisely as written. Just for me, mind you, I thought the slaw part was a little too soft? soggy like? after the salt and water treatment. Not as crunchy as I prefer. Maybe I didn't know what to expect. That said, the dressing is amazing and I would use that definitely.

Good! Next time I won't thin the dressing as much. I made a double batch for a potluck and that was about right.

So delicious! Subbed ginger for garlic. Can make dressing ahead then put salad in large bowl in fridge while cooking other parts of dinner. Dressing tastes similar to benihana japanese dressing. Enjoyed!!

This salad is absolutely delicious! My mom made it for a family meal last night, and now I'm adding it to my menu for the week. It's going to be in high rotation in my home!

Great slaw and versatile dressing! I cut back on the slaw ingredients because I was only serving two, so I had dressing leftover. No worries, however. I added a splash of soy and some minced ginger to some of the extra dressing and used it to marinate chicken thighs, which I then grilled - delicious! I also used the dressing, along with mayo, for a twist on my standard tuna salad concoction. Clearly, all that dressing is not going to waste! Thanks for another great recipe, Alexandra!

Oh! I almost forgot - I used another batch of the dressing, with some added ginger, hot sauce and a little peanut butter, to make cold sesame noodles. Perfect for summer!

Rhonda, I love all of these ideas! I have a little jar left, and I was thinking how nice it might be nice to somehow make it creamy — peanut butter sounds perfect, as do cold sesame noodles. Yum. Thank you! And thank you for the kind words.

Awesome ideas. I have a lot of this leftover, and I think I am going to use it in place of peanut sauce for another recipe this week. Delicious dressing!

Made it exactly as written to go with grilled lamb and grilled shrimp. Really tasty, really easy. People asked for the recipe.

Glad that you mentioned that the sweetness varies with different miso brands. (My first type cooking with miso.) My brand was not sweet at all so I had to add sugar to the dressing and cranberries to the final mix. Delicious and devoured!

So happy to hear this, Amy! Cranberries sound delicious. I was totally surprised by the sweetness of the miso I had purchased because this had not been my experience previously. So glad you were able to adjust to taste!

This dressing reminds me a lot of 'Japanese Carrot Dressing ' from Moosewood Restaurant Favorites. It is delicious.
I can't wait to try this one, and on coleslaw! What a great idea.
Thank you for yet another healthy yummy recipe Alex!

I made this with purple cabbage, an extra clove of purple garlic... a bit spicy and meaty even (thank u miso) for how healthy this is. Also, didn't have a food processer but used a blender and it ended up fine. Thanks for sharing!

So great to hear this, Alex! I'm always surprised by the zing of raw garlic.
