Ginger Salad Dressing
Ginger Salad Dressing is a fresh mix of minced ginger, rice vinegar, olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, and seasoning. This blend yields a tangy, slightly sweet dressing with a pungent ginger kick, ideal for enhancing greens or vegetables. The flavors deepen as it rests, gaining brightness and balance.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- ½ tablespoon sugar or agave
- 1 tablespoon ginger finely minced, fresh
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- lemon juice of ½ lemon
- ¼ cup of water
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- In a small bowl or jar with a lid, mix all of the ingredients. Taste and adjust any ingredients to taste. The taste of the ginger in the dressing will get stronger and better the longer it sits in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use freshly minced ginger for the brightest and most pronounced flavor.
- Let the dressing rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor development.
- Adjust sweetness, acidity, and salt to taste before serving.
- Blend the ingredients with a slow oil drizzle to create a creamier, emulsified dressing if desired.
