Chef's Notes
Kid-Friendly If you have young children, try reducing the ginger and maybe omitting the garlic. The dressing will be much more inviting for younger palates this way!
Serving Suggestions Try this on finely julienned greens. It is especially great with kale, as it helps mellow the flavor of the leaves. Chop your kale, then toss the dressing onto the leaves. Let sit for 10 or more minutes to allow the dressing to soften the greens. Add other salad fixings you might like, such as cherry tomatoes, grated carrot, chopped apple, or dried cranberries.
