Orange-Ginger Dipping Sauce

I’ve become a pretty good thrift store shopper since living in Oregon. And I have the habit of browsing through their cookbooks. Here’s what I found…I’m excited to share with you one of the easiest and yummy dipping sauces that I found while thumbing through an old cookbook. It only takes four ingredients. This dipping sauce is not only easy, but healthy and versatile. That means you can easily use it with your favorite Asian veggie wraps, sushi and Chinese dumplings just to name a few. I served this to a friend with a cabbage wrap and she requested this recipe. I hope you’ll like it too.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup (6 fl oz/180 ml) fresh squeezed orange juice

1/4 cup (2 fl oz/ 60 ml) low-sodium tamari soy sauce

1 tablespoon grated orange zest (I prefer organic oranges)

1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

Instructions:

1. In a VitaMix (or other blenders), puree ingredients for about 5-10 seconds. Pour sauce into small bowl or strain into a small bowl if you need to. (I didn’t need to strain the sauce since my VitaMix did a fine job of blending everything nicely).

Yield: 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml)

Use right away or stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
