Summary

This dressing contains beneficial ingredients like miso paste, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and dehydrated garlic, which contribute to its nutritional value and flavor. However, the presence of mayonnaise with expeller pressed canola oil introduces a seed oil that is highly processed and may contribute to inflammation. The product is moderately processed, which limits its score despite the presence of some healthy components.
