Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons, grated fresh ginger root
• 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 clove, minced garlic
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

Start by peeling the ginger root with a spoon to remove the skin, and then finely grate it using a microplane or grater to yield about 2 tablespoons.

Step 2

In a small bowl or a mason jar, combine the grated ginger, low sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, a pinch of black pepper, and water.

Step 3

Whisk all the ingredients together until they are well emulsified. Alternatively, if using a mason jar, secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously to combine.

Step 4

Taste the dressing and adjust sweetness by adding more honey if desired, or add more lemon juice for extra tang.

Step 5

Allow the dressing to sit for at least 10 minutes before serving, to help the flavors meld together.

Step 6

Use immediately on your favorite salad or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use as ingredients may separate over time.
