Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger root, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 clove Minced garlic

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the fresh ginger; peel a piece of ginger root and finely grate enough to measure 1 tablespoon.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the grated ginger and minced garlic for a fragrant base.

Step 3

Add the fresh lemon juice and red wine vinegar to the bowl, stirring to incorporate the flavors.

Step 4

Incorporate the honey and Dijon mustard, mixing with a whisk or fork until the mixture is smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

Slowly pour the extra virgin olive oil into the mixture, continually whisking to emulsify the dressing. This creates a creamy and consistent texture.

Step 6

Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting the seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Transfer the ginger salad dressing to an airtight jar or container, and shake well before using.

Step 8

For best flavor, chill the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. Shake well again before drizzling over your favorite salad.
