Asian Salad Dressing and Marinade

The BEST Asian Salad Dressing! Made with mostly pantry ingredients, use this tasty dressing on salads, as a marinade, or even as a dipping sauce!

I’m so excited to introduce you to your new favorite salad dressing.

Pour this hoisin-ginger-soy-sesame dressing on your next salad, marinate some chicken in it, or use it for your next batch of potstickers.

Or just grab a straw.

MY LATEST RECIPES

If you cook any Asian food on a semi-regular basis, you probably have most of the ingredients on hand already.

If not, fear not! Nothing is weird. They are all available at your grocery store/Target/Walmart. I’ve also linked to options on Amazon.

I like to mix the dressing in a jar and shake it vigorously. That combines the ingredients better than just a bowl and whisk (although I do that sometimes, too).

If you are more of a “Go big or go home” kind of person, blast it in your blender and don’t look back.

This Asian dressing will keep for up to 4 days in your refrigerator (but not if I’m around).

Save this Asian Salad Dressing to your “Salads” Pinterest board!

And let’s be friends on Pinterest! I’m always pinning tasty recipes!

For gluten-free soy sauce alternatives, use La Choy or Kikkoman's gluten-free soy sauce. Coconut aminos are also a great alternative.
