DESCRIPTION

This orange ginger dressing a quick, easy-to-make dressing that elevates any bowl of greens. It has the perfect balance of natural sweetness, tangy brightness, and a hint of spice. Freshly grated ginger offers a warm, spicy kick that complements the sweet, and citrusy undertones of navel oranges. Drizzle it over spring salads or use it as a marinade!

INGREDIENTS

METHOD

Grate the ginger and zest from the orange using a zester or a box grater.
Note: Only remove the colored part of the orange (not the pith). The pith will have a bitter taste.
Squeeze out the fresh juice from orange using a citrus squeezer. Comes out to about a little over ¼ of cup.
Place all ingredients, except the sesame seeds into a small blender and blend. Or seal them in a mason jar and shake well.
Note: If you prefer a smoother dressing without any bits, strain the mixture through a mesh strainer into a bowl or jar to remove any larger pieces of zest or ginger.
Taste test the vinaigrette and adjust the seasoning to your preference, if neeed.
Lastly, mix in the black sesame seeds.

NOTES

Use fresh ingredients: Freshly squeezed orange juice and grated ginger will give your dressing the best flavor. Always opt for fresh oranges and ginger whenever possible.

Zest carefully: When you’re zesting the orange, avoid the white pith beneath the skin to prevent bitterness in your orange ginger dressing.

Emulsify properly: Blend or vigorously shake the ingredients to ensure a smooth, emulsified dressing that doesn't separate easily.

Chill before serving: Refrigerate the dressing for at least an hour before serving to enhance its flavors and thickness.
