Don’t you just love a deliciously different, quick weeknight dinner? That’s what we found with these Miso-Roasted Tomatoes with Soba Noodles and scallions tossed with a ginger-lime dressing. I’ve been researching miso lately looking for delicious ways to incorporate it into recipes. I have a pile of ideas but this one really spoke to me. Quick and Easy – that has my name all over it.
Even though I’ve never been a big fan of miso soup, the yellow miso in this dressing really holds it all together. Light and refreshing but very filling this will be on our dinner rotation all summer.
It was also pretty awesome served cold for lunch the next day.

We made another one of those 1,100 mile whirlwind trips to Georgia and back last weekend for a family funeral. I was so tired and don’t seem to be able to catch up on the lost sleep, so I’m really looking forward to the weekend. I hope you have a fun, restful weekend. Thanks so very much for stopping by!

My condolences to you and your family, Tricia. The emotional drain of a funeral plus all of that driving has to be exhausting! I find that my "bounce back" time is longer than it used to be. 🙂 I hope you are able to rest this weekend and bounce back quickly. 🙂 I am so happy to have a new way to use the tub of miso sitting in my fridge. I used it for one recipe recently and then what?

I love cooking with miso, but I always seem to poop out before I use up the container. Thank you so much for this great new way to use it. What a beautiful recipe.

I have to try your miso dressing! Never thought of using miso to roast the tomatoes! The soba bowl looks delish, Tricia.

I have a container of miso in my fridge waiting for me to experiment with as well, Tricia! I am trying to get to it and was thinking miso butter noodles with mushrooms. There are so many possibilities but I have yet to use it! Your dish here looks sensational and reminds me to get cooking.
