  1. 1

    Make the dressing by adding the orange juice and zest, lemon juice and zest, grated ginger, sea salt, rice wine vinegar and honey to a bowl and whisking to combine.

  2. 2

    Slowly start to pour in the avocado oil while still whisking until all of the oil is incorporated and the dressing is emulsified (meaning the oil no longer separates from the juice).

  4. 4

    Drizzle the salad dressing over your favourite salad and toss to combine. Alternatively, use the salad dressing as a marinade for chicken, duck breasts or tofu.

About this Recipe

Tired of dull, store-bought dressings that lack punch? This vibrant homemade Ginger Citrus Dressing offers a burst of fresh flavor, transforming any salad into a gourmet experience.

What sets this dressing apart is its perfect balance of bright citrus notes from fresh lemon and orange, coupled with the warm zing of grated ginger. The generous amount of healthy avocado oil ensures a luxuriously smooth texture and a rich mouthfeel, while honey adds just a touch of sweetness to round out the zesty tang.

Expect a dressing that is incredibly fresh and lively, with a beautiful yellow-orange hue. Each spoonful delivers a harmonious blend of sweet, sour, and savory, with the subtle heat of ginger shining through without being overpowering. Its smooth consistency coats greens beautifully, making every bite feel light yet satisfying, thanks to the healthy fats it contains. This versatile dressing is sure to become a staple in your kitchen, brightening up your meals with minimal effort.

Want to make it your own? Feel free to experiment with different citrus, like grapefruit or lime, for a slightly varied profile. If you don't have avocado oil, a good quality extra virgin olive oil can be used, though it will change the flavor slightly. For an extra spicy kick, increase the amount of fresh ginger.

This Ginger Citrus Dressing is perfect for livening up everyday salads, but don't stop there! It also makes an excellent marinade for chicken or fish, bringing a fresh, zesty flavor to your main courses.
