Ginger Salad Dressing Recipe

Zesty Ginger Salad Dressing Recipe


  • Author: Jasmine
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons onion, roughly chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup for vegan)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 2 tablespoons water (to adjust consistency)
  • Pinch of salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

🥄 Step 1: Prep the Aromatics

Peel and chop the ginger and onion. Peel the garlic. Rough chopping is fine since everything will be blended. Use fresh ginger for the best flavor—it’s the star of this recipe.

🥄 Step 2: Combine Ingredients in Blender

Add the chopped ginger, onion, garlic, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, olive oil, honey, and lemon juice into a blender or food processor.

🥄 Step 3: Blend Until Smooth

Blend on high until all the ingredients are fully pureed and the dressing is creamy. Scrape down the sides if needed.

🥄 Step 4: Adjust Consistency and Seasoning

Add 1-2 tablespoons of water to reach your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust with more honey for sweetness, vinegar for tanginess, or salt and pepper for seasoning.

🥄 Step 5: Store and Chill

Transfer the dressing to a mason jar or airtight container. Let it chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Shake well before each use.
