Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons, finely grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 clove, minced garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by finely grating the fresh ginger until you have approximately 2 tablespoons.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl or a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the finely grated ginger, extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, and raw honey.
Add the coconut aminos to the mixture. Coconut aminos provide a savory, slightly sweet flavor similar to soy sauce but are soy-free and suitable for Paleo diets.
Next, add the minced garlic, sea salt, and black pepper to the dressing mixture.
Whisk together all the ingredients in the mixing bowl or shake vigorously if using a jar with a lid until well combined and emulsified.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or honey to balance the flavors to your liking.
Let the dressing sit for about 10 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld.
Give it a final shake or whisk just before serving.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Stir or shake well before each use.
