This easy ginger dressing is officially my new favorite chicken marinade, salad dressing and even a delicious stir fry sauce. I came up with it one night after marinating chicken thighs for grilling, and then the next day I made it again and threw it in an upcoming brussels salad recipe.

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce (or sub coconut aminos)
2-3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 ½ tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 tablespoon freshly minced ginger
Optional if you want a creamy dressing: add 1 tablespoon tahini or cashew butter
