Equipment

  • Small mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Garlic press
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons
  • Salad dressing jar
  • Airtight storage container

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup olive oil extra virgin
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • ½ teaspoon ginger fresh and finely shredded
  • 1 garlic clove crushed

Instructions
 

  • Add all dressing ingredients to a small bowl or jar.
  • Whisk or shake well until fully combined and slightly emulsified.
  • Drizzle over your rice bowl, salad, or fresh vegetables just before serving.
    • For the best flavor, let this ginger soy vinaigrette sit for 10–15 minutes before serving so the fresh ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and soy sauce fully blend into a rich umami-packed dressing.

Notes

  • Fresh ginger gives this homemade sesame soy vinaigrette a bright, zesty flavor that pairs perfectly with rice bowls, noodle bowls, and crunchy salads.
  • For a sweeter Asian-inspired dressing, add an extra teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • Use low-sodium soy sauce if you prefer a lighter salt level in your homemade salad dressing.
  • This easy ginger soy dressing works well as a vegetable marinade for chicken, shrimp, tofu, or stir-fry recipes.
  • Shake or whisk well before serving to keep the olive oil and vinegar fully combined.
  • Store leftover vinaigrette in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Add red pepper flakes or sriracha for a spicy sesame ginger vinaigrette variation.
  • Toasted sesame oil adds rich nutty flavor and authentic Asian-inspired taste to the dressing.
