Sesame Salad Dressing

This is one of those delicious salad dressings that just makes your mouth water. It's super easy to make and keeps very well in the fridge, although I doubt you'll have much left over after you try it!

1/2 C rice vinegar
1/4 C honey or brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 inch ginger root, finely grated
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 C canola oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, toasted

Heat the rice vinegar gently over a medium heat. Add the honey, garlic and ginger root, and stir until the honey or brown sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then pour into a clean jam jar. Add the sesame oil, canola oil, soy sauce and sesame seeds and shake to blend.
To serve:
Pour over mixed salad greens and top with your favourite salad fixings. I love it with red onion, left over rotisserie chicken and mandarin segments.

Honey-Tahini Dressing

4 Tbsp tahini sauce

3 Tbsp olive oil

2 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 tsp honey

2 tsp lemon juice

Assorted salad greens (arugula, spinach, kale, etc.)

Mix the first five ingredients in a small bowl, and shake well. Transfer to a clean jar with a lid and chill in the fridge until you're ready to use it.*

To serve:

Drizzle the dressing over a bowl of assorted mixed greens, and sprinkle with your favorite toppings, such as cranberries, red onions and slivered almonds. 

*I like to use a Bonne Maman jam jar. (Fortunately I always have a stash at home!)
