SesaMiso Salad Dressing

Based on Miso-Cup Recipes

Makes about 2 cups.

1/2 cup warm water
1/2 cup cold water
1 envelope Miso-Cup
1 minced garlic clove
juice of 1/2 lemon
dash of cayenne pepper
1 cup tahini

Dissolve Miso in warm water. Place in blender with remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth. For thinner consistency, add more water. For dip consistency, use less water.

For a variation, you can add one to two tablespoons sesame seeds after the dressing has been blended.

Notes

I haven't made this yet. Miso-Cup is just a brand of instant miso soup that you can find at Whole Foods.

And I think one way or perhaps two; it doesn’t matter // as long as one can slip by, and easily // into the questioning but not miasmal dark. // Look, here is a stance--- // shall you cover it, cape it? I // don’t care he said, going down all those stairs // makes a boy of you... //

-- John Ashbery, from "From Estuaries, from Casinos" (Hotel Lautréamont 1992)
