Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger root
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free)
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove (minced) garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons stevia or other low-carb sweeteners
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ginger. Using a fine grater, grate the ginger root until you have approximately 1 tablespoon. Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for this dressing.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Whisk them together until well combined.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.
Add the sesame oil to the mixture, and whisk again to incorporate the flavor.
Next, add the minced garlic, stevia or chosen low-carb sweetener, lime juice, and chili flakes to the bowl.
Whisk all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sweetener dissolves and the flavors meld together.
Finally, add a tablespoon of water to adjust the dressing's consistency if needed. Whisk once more to incorporate.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or lime juice for acidity according to your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or a bottle with a lid for easy serving. Shake well before each use.
Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve over your favorite salad greens and enjoy a refreshing low carb option!
