Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1/2 Onion
1 small knob of ginger
2 tbsp Soy sauce
2 tbsp Apple cider vinegar or any vinegar you have in the pantry
2 tsp Sugar
1 pinch Salt
3 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

Method

Grate the aromatics
Finely grate the onion and ginger into a medium-sized bowl. Grating the onion releases its natural juices, which helps the dressing emulsify and creates a smoother texture.
Mix the ingredients
Add the soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Whisk or stir thoroughly until the sugar and salt have dissolved and the oil has blended with the other liquids.
Serve and enjoy!
Drizzle your fresh dressing over steamed vegetables or your favourite leafy salad.
