Steps:
- In a jar or small bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until fully blended. Sometimes, if your mustard is cold, it will need a few minutes to warm up before it fully incorporates.
- Taste, and adjust if necessary-for more tartness, add another teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, or for more sweetness/balance, add another teaspoon or two of maple syrup (I usually add one).
- This salad dressing will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. Real olive oil can solidify slightly when cold; if that happens, simple let it warm to room temperature for a few minutes or microwave it in a microwave-safe jar for no more than 15 to 30 seconds.

HOMEMADE JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE GINGER SALAD DRESSING
I love the ginger dressing served on the salad at Japananese steak houses, and this recipe comes as close to it as any others I've tried. This recipe makes a lot....But it keeps well in the refrigerator or share with friends and family. If your food processor won't handle the entire recipe, divide the ingredients in half and blend each half separately.

GINGER LIME SALAD DRESSING
From Crazy Sista Cookbook by Lulu Buffet. This is a great dressing, it keeps well, and is also yummy over blackened grouper or on a grilled shrimp salad. Can also be used as a great marinade for grilling chicken or fish. Cook time is chill time.

Steps:

- Shake well until dressing is combined.
- Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Shake well before serving.
- Keeps well in refrigerator.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and tender ginger for the best flavor. Look for ginger that is plump and has smooth, unblemished skin.
- Peel and grate the ginger finely. This will help the ginger to blend well with the other ingredients and distribute its flavor evenly throughout the dressing.
- Use a variety of citrus juices to add brightness and acidity to the dressing. Lemon, lime, and orange juices all work well.
- Add a touch of honey or maple syrup to balance the tartness of the citrus juices and add a hint of sweetness.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor and health benefits.
- Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or garlic powder for a little extra flavor.
- Store the dressing in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
