How to Make Asian Chicken Salad Dressing

  • Gather Ingredients: Start by collecting all your ingredients, ensuring the garlic is finely minced and the ginger is grated.
  • Combine in Jar: In a 16-ounce Mason jar, combine the toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, and grated ginger.
  • Shake Well: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until everything is emulsified and the dressing is smooth.
  • Blend Option: Alternatively, if you prefer a finer texture, blend all the ingredients in a food processor until fully integrated.
  • Chill: Store the dressing in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in a sealed glass jar for up to 2 weeks. If oils solidify in the fridge, let it come to room temperature before use.
