Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing
Description
The recipe prepares a dressing by combining chopped onion, ginger root, celery, and tomato paste with rice wine vinegar, lemon juice, soy sauce, vegetable oil, sugar, water, and salt. Blending these ingredients until nearly smooth results in a creamy, flavorful dressing with a pronounced ginger character.
The dressing's texture is rich but not overly thick, offering a nice coating for leafy greens or crisp vegetables. The combination of soy sauce and vinegar provides a savory tang, balanced by the subtle sweetness of tomato paste and sugar. It is suited for a variety of salad greens and raw vegetables.
Unused portions can be refrigerated in a covered container to maintain freshness. The blend benefits from resting to allow flavors to meld before serving.
