Japanese ginger salad dressing.

We all know how a salad can be a great dish. Whether it’s a light dinner, a side for lunch, or even a snack, a salad is always a good option since it’s healthy, colorful, and fuss-free. Besides, it’s the only “fast” food that won’t try to kill you! But have you tried Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing?

What really makes a salad exceptional is the dressing. Sure, some people might want to eat their salad as is, but topping it off with a delicious dressing is what can make a salad truly enjoyable. Plus, adding salad dressing is one way you can enhance both its flavor and nutrients.

If you’re tired of the usual bottled salad dressing, it’s time to get creative and make some Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing!

You might have seen this particular salad dressing in a sushi restaurant. It’s pretty hard to miss with its vibrant orange color and zesty fragrance. But more than that, what makes this Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing truly one for the books is its fresh and light taste. Its mild but sweet-spicy flavor pairs well with a bowl of cold, crispy iceberg lettuce or other crunchy greens.

Unlike other salad dressings, you don’t have to worry so much about your calories with this recipe since all you need are carrots, ginger, sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, kosher salt, and vegetable oil. Mix them all in a food processor or blender, and voila! You’ve got a bright, delectable dressing in 15 minutes tops!

You can enjoy this restaurant-style Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing for up to four days when kept in a sealed jar inside the fridge. Once you’ve finished it, it’s easy to make more!
