Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons, grated fresh ginger root
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Start by peeling the ginger root with a spoon to remove the skin, and then finely grate it using a microplane or grater to yield about 2 tablespoons.
In a small bowl or a mason jar, combine the grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and water.
Whisk all the ingredients together until they are well emulsified. Alternatively, if using a mason jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired, or add more lemon juice for extra tang.
Allow the dressing to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, to help the flavors meld together.
Use immediately on your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as ingredients may separate over time.
