Description

This Asian-inspired sesame ginger vinaigrette is perfect for dressing crunchy salads, chilled noodles, and healthy grain bowls.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 2 teaspoons if grated/1 tablespoon if finely minced)
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari, if you’re gluten-free)
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar* (see note below)
  • 2 tablespoons well-stirred tahini*
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Combine all the ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid and share vigorously to combine. (Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a bowl.) Store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 7 to 10 days.


Notes

  • Rice vinegar can be substituted with apple cider or white wine vinegar. If you only have seasoned rice vinegar, halve the amount of maple syrup in this recipe to avoid a too-sweet dressing.
  • Tahini can be subbed with peanut, almond, or cashew butter here.
