Soy-Sesame Asian Vinaigrette
I recently tried making this soy-sesame Asian vinaigrette from a recipe I found on The Creative Bite. I am glad I gave this recipe a try because this salad dressing has a really strong soy-sesame flavor & a little goes a long way – just the way we like it! I really loved this vinaigrette on a salad made of romaine, spinach, and cabbage topped with lots of crunchy veggies like bell peppers, cucumbers, radishes along with some edamame & sliced almonds. I am looking forward to trying the leftover vinaigrette drizzled over a pasta salad or as a marinade.
How to Make Soy-Sesame Asian Vinaigrette
Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, honey, ginger, and garlic together in a glass jar. Whisk together or blend with an immersion blender; set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.
Whisk well right before drizzling on your salad. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight jar. Enjoy.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 2-3 tbsp toasted sesame oil, to taste
- 2 tsp honey, to taste
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
Instructions
- Combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, vegetable oil, sesame oil, honey, ginger and garlic together in a glass jar.
- Whisk together or blend with an immersion blender; set aside for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to mingle.
- Side Note: My family enjoys a strong flavored/tangy vinaigrette. If you don't, add more oil and honey, to taste.
- Whisk well right before drizzling on your salad. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight jar. Enjoy.
Seems like this would be a great marinade for chicken, too!
Tasty salad dressing and I bet it was delicious on the salad you made.
Definitely bookmarking this because I love Asian-inspired salads!
We mix it into hot grilled vegetables like red onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, baby zucchini and sliced carrots Just throw them right off the grill into a big bowl and toss. Everyone loves it
