Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the coconut aminos, rice vinegar, fresh lime juice, and toasted sesame oil. Whisk until well blended.
Add the minced garlic cloves and grated ginger to the liquid mixture. Whisk again to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Continue to whisk for another 30 seconds.
Once the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated, carefully taste the dressing to check seasoning balance. Adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
Transfer the salad dressing to a clean, airtight jar or bottle. For optimal flavor melding, let the dressing sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before use.
Before serving, give the dressing a good shake to mix any ingredients that may have settled. Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top before drizzling onto your salad or other dishes.
Store any leftover dressing in the refrigerator for up to one week, shaking well before each use.
