Asian-Inspired Orange Ginger Salad Dressing Recipe Is a Taste Sensation by Jan Mostrom
This flavorful Asian-inspired orange ginger salad dressing was inspired by my shrimp stir fry recipe. The sweet and spicy sauce that's poured into the stir-fry recipe is full of flavor! So I thought, why not use it as a salad dressing?!
The simple orange ginger dressing is an aromatic blend of orange juice, fresh orange zest, fresh ginger, garlic, either maple syrup or honey (optional!), sesame oil, tamari or soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. The combination is a taste sensation in your mouth!
Never heard of tamari? Tamari is a Japanese sauce made from fermented soybeans. When compared to traditional soy sauce, it has a milder taste, is less salty and thicker. Tamari is also naturally vegan.
You can use this orange ginger dressing on salads, pasta salads, grilled chicken, fish, shrimp, in stir fries and even as a light dip for fresh cut-up vegetables. It would also be a great marinade for chicken, fish and shrimp. How will you use it?
