Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon (grated) fresh ginger root
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium, gluten-free)
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 clove (minced) garlic
• 0.5 teaspoons stevia or other low-carb sweeteners
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 0.25 teaspoon chili flakes
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ginger. Using a fine grater, grate the ginger root until you have approximately 1 tablespoon. Fresh ginger provides the best flavor for this dressing.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Whisk them together until well combined.

Step 3

Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while continuously whisking to emulsify the dressing.

Step 4

Add the sesame oil to the mixture, and whisk again to incorporate the flavor.

Step 5

Next, add the minced garlic, stevia or chosen low-carb sweetener, lime juice, and chili flakes to the bowl.

Step 6

Whisk all ingredients thoroughly to ensure the sweetener dissolves and the flavors meld together.

Step 7

Finally, add a tablespoon of water to adjust the dressing's consistency if needed. Whisk once more to incorporate.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more soy sauce for saltiness or lime juice for acidity according to your preference.

Step 9

Transfer the dressing to a jar or a bottle with a lid for easy serving. Shake well before each use.

Step 10

Store in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve over your favorite salad greens and enjoy a refreshing low carb option!
