‘Ponzu’ is a super versatile sauce and it can be used as a salad dressing, too. I often add a small amount of Oil to it. Add Ginger (OR Garlic if you prefer), Onion and Toasted Sesame Seeds as well for extra flavours. Because I always have a bottle of ‘Ponzu’, this dressing is super easy to make. If you don’t have ‘Ponzu’, make ‘Quick & Easy Ponzu’.
