Sesame-Ginger Salad Dressing

Briny, sweet, and tangy, this homemade sesame-ginger salad dressing is the perfect choice for salads featuring kale, cabbage, bok choy, and other greens. 

It gives these kinds of salads and other raw veggies a lovely Asian-flavored spin. It’s also fantastic on cold noodles. In these photos, it’s gracing Kale and Cabbage Salad with Baby Corn and Bok Choy.

Honestly, I don’t have a whole lot more to say about this dressing recipe other than that it’s quite useful and I refer to it in a number of recipes on this site. It takes mere minutes to make, and while I’m not sure that doing so is more economical that buying it bottled, I think it tastes better!
