• 0.5 teaspoon Ground ginger (or freshly grated)
• 1 clove Garlic, finely minced or grated
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Step 3

3. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined. Alternatively, if you're using a jar with a lid, seal tightly and shake vigorously until emulsified.

Step 4

4. Taste the dressing and adjust as needed. For more sweetness, add a small drizzle of honey or maple syrup. For additional tang, add a splash of rice vinegar.

Step 5

5. If desired, sprinkle in sesame seeds for additional texture and visual appeal.

Step 6

6. Use immediately as a salad dressing, marinade, or drizzle over roasted vegetables. Store any leftovers in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Shake well before each use.
