ASIAN SALAD DRESSING
This Asian salad dressing is delicious in a salad or on stir-fried vegetables. It will last, sealed in a Mason jar, in the refrigerator for about six weeks. A tablespoon of ground ginger may be used in place of fresh. -Judy Batson, Tampa, Florida

ASIAN VINAIGRETTE SALAD DRESSING
This is simple to throw together, light and tangy. I often vary the ingredients, using honey or orange juice instead of sugar, adding wasabi powder -- whatever I'm in the mood for. The joy of cooking is being creative! If you wish to substitute the oil, use a bland vegetable oil, extra virgin olive oil or "light" olive oil. Regular olive oil is too strong for this recipe.

A tangy dressing that you only need to use a tiny bit of because it's richly flavored. It's fat free and wonderful!

Steps:
- There are 2 options for preparing this dressing.
- You can either whir ingredients in blender, which makes it a little frothy- which I like.
- Or, you can finely mince the garlic and ginger and whip the rest of the ingredients together with a wire whisk.
- Either way, it's fabulous!
- You can easily double this recipe- just keep the 2 to 1 ratio for the garlic and ginger and the soy sauce and vinegar.
