- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger root to yield about 2 tablespoons. Place it in a small mixing bowl.
Step 2
Mince the garlic clove finely and add it to the bowl with the ginger.
Step 3
Add the low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, orange juice, honey, sesame oil, and water into the bowl.

Step 6
Once mixed, transfer the dressing to a jar or a salad dressing bottle with a lid.
