Blue cheese

In a very small jar mix 1 teaspoon of miso paste (I like red, but yellow is a bit milder for most people), add some powdered ginger, granulated garlic and a little black pepper. Then add a 50/50 of olive oil and vinegar (white wine or rice are good, regular is fine, cider is too strong for this). With a spoon, smush the miso until it’s mostly dissolved. Put a lid on the jar and shake it like it owes you money! You can also add 50/50 yellow/red miso for a different balance of taste. Do not add any salt, that comes from the miso.

20% balsamic vinegar 30% olive oil 50% maple syrup As much mustard as is needed to keep it from separating

Takes 5 minutes to make and keeps for a long time

simple vinaigrette. Olive oil, French mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper (garlic, shallots). depending on the salad it’s wine vinegar (red or white) or apple cider vinegar, Dijon or à l’ancienne mustard. if i feel fancy I’ll add some herbs (tarragon is great) or some egg yolk for extra creaminess.

lately i have been mixing avocado, salsa and pure fermented habanero sauce and slapping that on lettuce and arugula it’s so good
