GINGER SALAD DRESSING



Ginger Salad Dressing image

Love ginger? You'll love this homemade salad dressing recipe! It's full of fresh ginger flavor, balanced by a touch of maple syrup and apple cider vinegar. Recipe yields 3/4 cup dressing.

Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Salad Dressing

Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar, to taste
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey, to taste
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
About 20 twists of freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a jar or small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully blended. Sometimes, if your mustard is cold, it will need a few minutes to warm up before it fully incorporates.
  • Taste, and adjust if necessary-for more tartness, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or for more sweetness/balance, add another teaspoon or two of maple syrup (I usually add one).
  • This salad dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Real olive oil can solidify slightly when cold; if that happens, simple let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes or microwave it in a microwave-safe jar for no more than 15 to 30 seconds.

SESAME GINGER VINAIGRETTE



Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette image

My decision to devote this week's recipes to salad dressings was partly a reaction to my son's request for a bottled sesame ginger dressing. "We don't buy dressings in this house," I said huffily. The next day I looked at a bottle of sesame soy ginger dressing at a local market and was horrified to see that the second listed ingredient was sugar. I thought: I can make something sort of sweet and do better than that. And so I did. This dressing is great with green salads and cooked vegetables, as well as with noodles and grains.

1 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more vibrant flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your dressing a more authentic taste.
  • Grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger to distribute evenly throughout the dressing and prevent it from clumping.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a mild flavor.
  • Add some acidity: The acidity in the dressing will help to balance out the sweetness of the ginger and the richness of the olive oil. You can use lemon juice, lime juice, or rice vinegar.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt and pepper you add to the dressing will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount and then add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Ginger dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes, from salads to grilled meats and fish. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dressing, give ginger dressing a try!
