Asian Salad Dressing
Description
The Asian Salad Dressing is a harmonious mixture of ¼ cup olive oil and the acidity of ¼ cup rice vinegar, balanced with 2 to 3 tablespoons of tamari or light soy sauce for saltiness. Toasted sesame oil brings a nutty aroma, while mayonnaise adds creaminess and honey delivers a mild sweetness. Additional depth comes from freshly grated ginger root, and optionally, mirin rice wine and toasted sesame seeds for texture. Simply shaking all ingredients in a jar emulsifies the dressing into a smooth pourable sauce. It produces about one cup of dressing and stores well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, handy for fresh salads or drizzling over vegetables and grains.
