Servings: 6 servings
Calories: 12.04kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ Cup lemon juice
- ¼ Cup neutral oil of choice
- 1 Tablespoon fresh grated ginger
- 1 Tablespoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Squeeze out your fresh lemon juice, then peel your fresh ginger (if using) with a spoon and grate it with a micro-plane; you'll need about 3" of fresh root.
- Add your lemon juice, oil, ginger puree, maple syrup, and salt to a bowl, then blend it well. You can use an immersion blender, high-powered milk frother, or a small food processor; any of these would do the job, though the latter would whip it up more. Voila! Your lemon ginger dressing is all done.
Notes
Ginger Puree: I highly recommend grating your own ginger into a puree rather than purchasing it, especially if you're eating low histamine, but there are some preservative-free ginger purees out there, if you can source locally.
Making a Salad: This stuff goes great on everything in my opinion, but I especially like adding almonds or chia seeds for crunch, and some sort of berry or pear for a fresh punch of flavor. If you can tolerate it, this tastes amazing with goat cheese or any other fresh soft cheese. I like pulled-apart chicken breasts for protein, or even pieces of grilled lamb or bison.
