Orange Ginger Mayonnaise Sauce Ingredients

For this tangy sweet sauce, you will need 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon peeled and minced fresh ginger, 1/2 teaspoon orange juice, 1 tablespoon grated orange peel, 2 tablespoons finely chopped or sliced green onions, and 2 teaspoons of honey.

The ingredients of the sauce: Fresh Ginger, honey, one orange, green onions, Dijon mustard and mayonnaise laid out on a wooden board.

Tip for Fresh Ginger: If you love using fresh ginger in your cooking, but don’t use it every night, check out this tip.  I peel one large ginger root, dice it up and store it in the freezer divided up into small Ziplocks. I scoop out what I need for the recipe I am making and put the rest back in the freezer. Thanks Nichole, this is a great tip!

How to Make This Orange Ginger Mayo Sauce

It’s easy! Rinse a few green onions, and thinly slice (or mince per your preference) the midsections of each.  Peel the ginger and mince enough to equal 1/2 teaspoon.  Measure the remaining ingredients and combine all of them in a small bowl or measuring cup.  Make it ahead of time and store it in a sealed container until you are ready to serve.
