Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use freshly squeezed juice - Fresh orange juice gives the dressing a cleaner citrus taste than bottled juice. Taste before adding more salt - Sesame oil, citrus, and vinegar become stronger after the dressing rests. Let it rest - Refrigerate the vinaigrette for 20 to 30 minutes if time allows. This gives the ginger and sesame flavors time to blend.Storing
Refrigerate - Store the vinaigrette in a sealed glass jar for up to 5 days. Shake before serving - The oil will separate as the vinaigrette sits. Shake the covered jar until blended.Nutrition
