Ginger Vinaigrette

By CBarile

Melissa Rubel Jacobson says the easiest way to peel fresh ginger for this punchy Asian-inspired vinaigrette is to scrape it with the edge of a spoon. She then grates it on a Microplane zester (other fine graters work well, too) before using it in the dressing.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar with the sugar and grated ginger until the sugar is dissolved. Whisk in the vegetable oil and season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
