Umeboshi Salad Dressing Recipes

Umeboshi is Japanese pickled ume plum. It is often eaten as an accompaniment to other foods. Although the taste of umeboshi might be too salty and sour for most people, you can utilize the tartness of umeboshi to enhance your cooking.

If this is your first time using umeboshi, we recommend using it as an additional ingredient for salad dressing. The tart flavor can work well as the sour element of the salad dressing, as opposed to the usual citrusy lemons. The umeboshi is especially perfect when combined with other Japanese ingredients like soy sauce, or ponzu. But feel free to adjust the recipe as you’d like.
