Lemon juice freshens up this sesame-ginger vinaigrette made with just 7 ingredients shaken in a jar and ready to dress Buddha bowls, and even stir-fries.
You’ll base it off of the following ingredients:
Trust me, if you’ve got most of those ingredients, you’re on way to a winning combination of flavors that’ll make any salad or Buddha bowl taste like they came straight out of an Asian bistro! Seriously, this sesame-ginger dressing doesn’t play around.
Consider this shortcut…
If you don’t feel like grating or mincing the ginger and garlic, just nestle them in a food processor or blender to puree them–with the rest of the ingredients, if you want!
Otherwise, just shake everything up in a Mason jar, and voila! Automatic storage option: obtained.
