ASIAN SALAD DRESSING



Asian Salad Dressing image

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



Asian Vinaigrette Salad Dressing image

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.

Asian Style Dressing- from Jamie Oliver's Winter Salad With Duck image

This is a dressing recipe from the new Food Network show Jamie at Home. They didn't list the recipe on Food Network's site, so I'm putting it here for safe keeping. I find it tastes really fabulous over long thin slices of grated carrots as a carrot salad.

FAT FREE ASIAN SALAD DRESSING



Fat Free Asian Salad Dressing image

A tangy dressing that you only need to use a tiny bit of because it's richly flavored. It's fat free and wonderful! If you must, then you can drizzle a little olive oil into your salad after tossing it with this dressing but, honestly, it doesn't need it to make a delicious salad! Also a yummy dressing for sauteed tofu and vegetables. Enjoy!

Provided by SaraFish

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger (about the size of a garlic clove)
3 ounces soy sauce
1 1/2 ounces red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 drops sesame oil
1/2 ounce water

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.
