TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Tangy Citrus Ginger Dressing:

  • Use freshly squeezed juice: Fresh lemon juice enhances flavour and provides natural acidity.
  • Grate ginger finely: This ensures even distribution throughout the dressing.
  • Shake well before serving: It prevents separation and keeps ingredients well blended.
  • Adjust sweetness: Add extra honey if a slightly sweeter flavour is preferred.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for heat.
  • Creamy Version: Blend with Greek yoghurt or tahini for a richer consistency.
  • Herbal Infusion: Mix in fresh cilantro, basil or parsley for added freshness.
  • Citrus Mix: Swap orange juice for grapefruit or lime for a unique twist.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Short-Term Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Separation Tip: Shake or stir before use, as natural separation may occur.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because the texture and consistency will change when thawed.
