Creamy Black Pepper Dressing
SPECIAL NOTE: For those of you who have faithfully followed our Food for Life TV program, we hope you’ll be pleased to know that we have combined PCRM’s Recipe of the Week with our Food for Life TV.

This is sure to be a favorite, especially if you are a fan of spinach salads. The blender is the key to the creamy texture. If you wish to add a bit of heat, grated ginger or chili pepper flakes make a lovely addition. If you have never purchased and used miso in your cooking before, it is fermented soybean paste and comes in a variety of colors and added grains (i.e., rice, barley, or wheat). The lighter miso varieties are usually less salty and mellower in flavor than the darker varieties.
