Addictive in every good way, Preserved Meyer Lemon harmonizes all the other ingredients in this go-to dressing for greens, rice and more.
Need
2 TBS soy sauce
2 TBS rice vinegar
1 TBS sesame oil
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
1/2 garlic clove, minced
1 TBS maple syrup
1/2 TBS tahini
1 tsp Bay Leaf Preserved Meyer Lemon Paste or more to taste
2 TBS olive oil or to taste
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional)
Do
Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a small bowl and whisk together. For a smoother consistency, blend in a small food processor or hand blender.
Gradually whisk in the olive oil 1 TBS at a time until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Use less than the suggested 2 TBS if you want a tangier taste.
Stir in toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Serve over your favorite salad, steamed greens or a poke bowl.
Notes
This recipe yields enough dressing for two side salads for two or a larger one serving three to four people.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. A night in the fridge results in a creamier dressing and the flavors meld even more.
