This sesame miso salad dressing has a unique Asian flavor to it that perks up salads and slaw. It is made with miso which is a fermented soy and therefore is the only kind that is healthy for you to eat.
You do not want to be consuming unfermented soy of any kind and that includes tofu. (See "Soy Protein Food" for more background on this subject.) The only kinds of soy that are good for you are miso, tempeh, natto and soy sauce if you are not gluten-sensitive. These are all fermented kinds of soy.
This recipe is fairly easy to make and the only challenge is finding the miso. Our local Kroger carries it in the Nature's Market section of the store in the dairy case. Otherwise, you can buy it at Natural Foods Warehouse and Whole Foods.

Miso is a fermented soybean paste commonly used in Asian-style meals and has zinc, manganese, copper and vitamin B12 in it.

A pinch of Stevia
2 teaspoons spicy toasted sesame oil
1/3 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup plain (not toasted) sesame oil or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon onion, minced
*****************************************************************
1. In a 2 cup measuring cup, whisk together the miso, vinegar, stevia and toasted sesame oil until smooth.
2. Whisk in the orange juice.
3. In a steady stream, slowly whisk in the sesame oil until smooth.
4. Stir in the minced onion and serve on your choice of salad.
It works great on broccoli slaw or cabbage slaw, available pre-made in the produce section of most grocery stores as well as green lettuce salads.
