I have been adding ginger into recipes and food quite frequently these days. I really enjoy the flavour that freshly grated ginger brings to a dish.
This is fantastic as a marinade for beef, chicken or pork! Try my Ginger Sesame Chicken Stir Fry, Chicken Skewers, or even Roasted Veggies.

I love the versatility of this sauce, it makes summer cooking that much easier. Yum!!
Thanks Carol!
Yum! I’d use this for everything from grilling to tossing a chicken salad. Sounds fantastic.
I added a homemade salad dressing to JoLynne’s Real Food Roundup, too. 🙂
This sounds so good. I’m a bit of a ginger addict. I’m pinning this. I love the idea of using it on a salad with spinach and chicken and shredded carrot and other things.
Oh I LOVE this! I could see this on a nice salad of grilled chicken and vegetables. YUM thanks for sharing with us at The Southern Special
