Soy Sesame Ginger Vinaigrette

We love a blender dressing - quick, simple and minimal dishes. Kick up the heat with fresh ground ginger and chili, and add a little sweetness with orange juice and maple syrup, this dressing is sure to hit all the flavor profiles! Toss on mixed greens with grilled chicken, segmented oranges, scallions and crushed cashews for a fan favorite salad, or double the recipe and use as a marinade for tofu, salmon or steak for an easy weeknight meal.

1-1/2 tsp garlic, minced

1/8 tsp coriander, ground

1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flake

1/2 cup canola oil*

Instructions

2. With blender on medium speed, drizzle oil slowly until emulsified.

3. Store leftover dressing in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
