How to Make Wasabi Ginger Dressing

  1. Combine 1/4 cup wasabi paste, 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil in a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
  3. With the blender running on low, slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup neutral-flavored oil (like canola or grapeseed) until emulsified and creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more wasabi for extra zing, honey/maple syrup for sweetness, or rice vinegar for acidity.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This dressing will keep for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
