Description
A zesty and flavorful Ginger Lime Dressing, perfect for drizzling over salads or as a marinade.
Ingredients
Scale
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (or coconut aminos)
- ½ Tbsp grated fresh ginger root (about 1 inch of ginger root)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (more to taste)
- ⅙ tsp black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- Grate the fresh ginger root and finely mince the garlic.
- Add the ingredients to a small bowl or container like a mason jar.
- Whisk the ingredients until emulsified.
- Hint: for the best results, finely mince your garlic and ginger so they mix evenly with the other ingredients. I finely grate my ginger root using a citrus zester.
- Alternative Method #1 – Shake it up: skip the bowl and whisk and make this Ginger Lime Dressing in a mason jar by adding all of the ingredients, securing the lid, and shaking it until everything is well combined.
- Alternative Method #2 – Blend it Up: use a food processor or blender instead. Simply add the ingredients until blended (30-60 seconds or until smooth).
Notes
- This dressing is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
