Benihana® Ginger Salad Dressing

As far as salad dressings go, this is one of the

most requested, and tasty. At the Benihana chain

of hibachi grill restaurants, you are served a

side salad before your meal that is doused with this

tangy, slightly sweet, fresh ginger dressing.

This Top Secret Recipes version of that dressing

is a real cinch to make, once you've got the ingredients.

Just dump everything into a blender, whiz it, and you're set.

Although this recipe is inspired by the many variations of

the clone recipe that are floating around (and that I have

received by e-mail), you should know that this is an

original never-before-published creation that comes closer

to the original product than any other version I have seen.

See what you think.
