Great! Very tasty and not too salty or too overpowering. I must admit I am a fan of miso though, so perhaps if you don't like miso give it a miss, or try it with Shiro (white) miso for a milder flavour? I used Awase miso which was really tasty! I served this with a very Japanese-style salad of cabbage and tomato, with a bit of carrot, spring onions and green pepper! Thanks!

In my opinion, the dressing was very salty.

This is a terrific "Golden Oldie Recipe". If you like the flavour of miso you'll love this. I did find it a bit too thick though. So I added some rice vinegar, fish sauce and a lot of white wine till I got the consistency I wanted. Really good in my opinion.
