- 4 teaspoons water
- 1 ½ tablespoons white miso fermented soybean paste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup + 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
The Dressing:
- In a blender, combine lime juice, water, white miso, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth. With the blender running, slowly pour in olive oil. Stop pouring the olive oil a couple of times throughout this process, with blender running, to insure that the emulsification is forming well. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
