Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 - 2 teaspoons ginger grated
  • 1 teaspoon garlic grated
  • 2 teaspoons yellow onion grated
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds optional, toasted, crushed or ground
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (or your choice of vegetable oil)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 10.5 oz iceberg lettuce

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together grated ginger, garlic, onion, grind sesame seeds, vinegar, lime juice, soy sauce, oil, sugar, salt and pepper until the ingredients become a smooth dressing. Taste and adjust to your liking.
  2. Trim and cut the iceberg lettuce into bite-sized pieces and arrange them on serving plates. Drizzle the dressing and serve.

Notes

  • If you make a small batch for 2 people, you can use a Microplane grater to grate the ginger, garlic, onion and use a mortar and pestle to crush the sesame seeds. If you make a large batch, it is quicker to use a food processor or blender to pulse all the ingredients to make the dressing.
  • I recommend using young ginger to make the dressing, because old/mature ginger tends to be spicier with some bitterness, which can be unpleasant to eat.
  • You can try romaine or shredded green cabbage instead of iceberg. Also feel free to add some cucumber, cherry tomatoes or sliced red radish.
