🫚 What Makes This Recipe So Good
You might recognize ginger salad dressing from Japanese steakhouses, hibachi restaurants, or sushi restaurants. I always look forward to it – the rich color, the bold flavors, the creamy texture. Imagine how happy I was when I realized I could make it at home and have it whenever I wanted! (Bonus, it’s also cheaper than buying the dressing from Benihana directly whenever the craving strikes.) This recipe is so easy, there’s only one step. Blend! Everything goes straight into the blender, and you just blend it until you’ve got a smooth, liquidy, creamy ginger salad dressing. Perfect for drizzling over a variety of salads. If you’re a meal prepper, throw the ingredients for this dressing in your cart. As long as you store ginger salad dressing in an airtight container in the fridge, it’ll keep for a week, minimum.
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
Chill the ginger salad dressing prior to serving. This gives all the flavors time to mingle and amplify, so you’ve got a really bright, tangy dressing when it’s time to eat your salad. You can absolutely adjust the ingredients in this recipe to suit your preferences! To make this even more like Benihana’s ginger salad dressing, use peanut oil for your neutral oil and add a little chopped celery. If you’d like an even thinner consistency, blend in a small amount of water until the dressing is as thin as you like it. For a thicker dressing, blend in more onion.
