Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Start by grating a small piece of fresh ginger (about 1-2 teaspoons) and juicing your lemon.
  • In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, grated ginger, and honey, and slowly pour in the olive oil while whisking to emulsify the dressing. This will make your dressing smooth and creamy.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a bit more honey if you prefer a sweeter dressing or more lemon juice for extra tanginess.
  • Your lemon ginger salad dressing is ready. Shake it before pouring it over your favorite salad! Or store it in an airtight container for later use.

Notes

  • Honey Alternatives: If not honey, try maple syrup. It is also a natural sweetener and its caramel-like flavor profile keeps things fresh and interesting. Check out this list of honey substitutes you can also go for.
  • Make It Creamy: Want a creamy version? Add a couple of tablespoons of tahini or a dollop of cashew cream to the mix for a smooth, rich dressing that still packs that zesty punch.
  • Other Add-Ons: From adding minced garlic (or garlic powder) to drizzling some apple cider vinegar, there are a lot of additions you can do to give this dressing a personal touch.
 
How to store:
This dressing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Make sure to shake or stir it before using, as the ingredients may separate over time.
