Ingredients
Sesame Ginger Dressing Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons smooth tahini
- 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon tamari
- 1 heaping teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 to 3 tablespoons water, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the tahini, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, tamari, grated fresh ginger, maple syrup, and 1 tablespoon of water until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Adjust the consistency: If the dressing is too thick, gradually add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of water, whisking continuously, until the dressing reaches a drizzleable consistency suitable for your preference.
Notes
- You can substitute honey for maple syrup for a different subtle sweetness.
- If you prefer a chunkier texture, grate the ginger coarsely.
- Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- This dressing is naturally gluten-free when tamari (gluten-free soy sauce) is used.
- Adjust water quantities to get your desired thickness depending on how you intend to use the dressing.
