Ginger Onion Vinaigrette
The combination of sweet onions and ginger makes a smooth bittersweet dressing for fresh greens.
Ingredients
- 12 whole fresh green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 2 medium size shallots, skinned and finely chopped
- 1 small red onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups heavy duty mayonnaise
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh garlic in oil
- 1 cup chicken stock or broth
- Kosher salt to taste
- Dash of cracked black pepper
- 1 teaspoon finely chopped crystallized ginger
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup very fine strips of white leeks
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in large sauté pan. When the oil is hot, sauté the leeks, red and green onion, garlic and shallots until they are about 50 percent done.
- Remove from the heat, then add the red wine vinegar. Return to the heat. This will help de-glaze the pan.
- Add chicken stock, fresh and crystallized ginger and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook until the liquid has been reduced by half.
- Remove heat and let cool at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine cooked mixture and all other ingredients. Taste. If it is too vinegary, add just a touch of sugar.
- Additional salt and pepper may also be added to your taste.
