Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Fresh ginger root
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Orange juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root to yield about 2 tablespoons. Place it in a small mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the bowl with the ginger.
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice, honey, sesame oil, and water into the bowl.
Whisk all the ingredients together until the honey is completely dissolved, and the mixture is well combined.
Season the dressing with black pepper to taste. Start with 1/4 teaspoon and adjust the seasoning according to your preference.
Once mixed, transfer the dressing to a jar or a salad dressing bottle with a lid.
Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together more thoroughly.
Shake well before serving. Use the dressing over your favorite salad greens, or as a marinade for grilled vegetables or lean proteins.
