Ginger Salad Dressing

You know that addictive ginger dressing from Japanese steakhouses that you want to drink straight from the bottle? This is it, and it’s shockingly easy to make at home.

Fresh ginger root, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce go into the blender with diced onion, celery, and a touch of sugar for balance.

Blitz it all until smooth and creamy, then store it in a jar in the fridge.

Shake it up before drizzling over crisp lettuce, cucumber salads, or even grilled vegetables for that tangy, umami-rich punch that makes everything taste better.

Kitchen Tips

• Use fresh ginger root, not powdered, for that bright, zingy flavor profile
• Let the dressing sit for 30 minutes before serving to let flavors meld and mellow
• Shake vigorously before each use since the solids settle to the bottom
