Description

A delicious sesame ginger dressing perfect for salads or as a marinade.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or avocado oil)
  • 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce (to make this recipe gluten-free, use coconut aminos or tamari)
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp maple syrup
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • ½ Tbsp ginger root, finely grated (about 1 inch of ginger root or ⅙ tsp ground ginger)

Instructions

  1. Combine all your ingredients in a small bowl and whisk them together until smooth.
  2. Optional: squeeze in half a fresh lime for added flavor.
  3. Alternative Method #1: Shake it up – skip the bowl and whisk and make this dressing in a mason jar by adding all of the ingredients, securing the lid, and shaking it until everything is well combined.
  4. Alternative Method #2: Blend it Up – use a food processor or blender instead. Simply add the ingredients and blend for 30-60 seconds or until smooth.

Notes

  • This dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less maple syrup to taste.
