You can use this dressing on a variety of dishes, from salads to marinades for proteins or even as a zesty dipping sauce. It’s sure to become a staple in your kitchen. Fresh ingredients like ginger and garlic not only add flavour, but also offer health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and a boost to the immune system.
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tsp fish sauce
- 1 piece fresh ginger (1″ diameter x 1″ long, peeled and minced)
- 2 cloves of garlic (peeled and minced)
- 2/3 cup grape seed oil (or olive oil)
- 1 shallot (peeled and quartered)
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Method of preparation:
Combine the flavours: In a blender, combine the lime juice, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, honey, fish sauce, minced ginger, minced garlic and crushed red pepper.
Blend: Pulse until ingredients are well combined.
Add the oil: With the blender running on low speed, slowly add the grapeseed or olive oil until the mixture is emulsified and smooth.
Finish with the shallots: Add the quartered shallot to the blender and pulse a few times to incorporate it into the dressing without completely pureeing it, which will add a nice texture and flavour.
Adjust the seasoning: Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning with more soy sauce, honey or lime juice if needed.
Serve or store: Use the dressing immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
