I don’t know if I can call this recipe a Japanese dressing... BUT, this is something that I often make when tomato season begins.
It’s based on mustard and vinegar but I add in a splash of soy sauce for a nice umami kick! It is very refreshing and whipped up in 2 minutes!
All the ingredients should be widely available in any country, so please give it a shot!
I realize I have been posting more than 5 different kinds of dressing recipes!
Should I make a video about them?? Right now is such a lovely salad season if you are living in the northern hemisphere. If you are living on the other side of the globe, I have soup and curry recipes too!! Haha.
Enjoy and have a lovely day!!

1 tablespoon grainy mustard/dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey

1. Slice the onion thinly and soak in water for 5 minutes to remove the pungency.
2. Mix all the dressing ingredients listed above. Slice the tomatoes and place them on a serving plate.

<Miwa’s tips>
・Wine vinegar is much sweeter than any other kind of vinegar. If you are looking for a substitute, you can use any other vinegar such as apple cider vinegar. Adjust the taste by adding a very small amount of honey if using apple cider vinegar.
・If you are not sensitive to the pungency of onions, skip the water soaking step.
・Other than tomatoes, you can use leafy greens, corn, cucumbers, avocado, beans etc.... Basically the combinations for this dressing recipe are endless!
・If you are looking for gluten free then please use tamari soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce.
・Vegan option→ Swap out the honey for sugar or agave.
