This fruity, citrusy homemade dressing will wake up your tastebuds. It's a little sweet and a little spicy, and the ginger contributes a layer of flavor on its own. Delicious on a simple green salad, an Oriental Chicken Salad, any Asian-inspired salad, or even coleslaw.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ¼ cup avocado oil

  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon freshly-squeezed mandarin orange juice

  • 1 ½ teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger

  • 1 teaspoon mandarin orange zest

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup

  • ½ teaspoon black sesame seeds

  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. Combine avocado oil, rice vinegar, mandarin orange juice, ginger root, mandarin orange zest, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, black sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a small glass jar with a tightly secured lid.

  2. Shake until dressing starts to emulsify, about 20 seconds. Taste, and adjust seasonings, if necessary to suit your taste. Store in the refrigerator.

Cook's Note:

Feel free to use ginger paste in the tube like Gourmet Garden instead of grated ginger root. Also, if you don't have avocado oil, grapeseed oil, light olive oil, or canola oil are good substitutions.
