CREAMY ORIENTAL SALAD DRESSING SAM CHOY
This salad dressing comes from Sam Choy, one of my favorite Hawaiian chefs along with Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi. The dressing is good just as it is, but you can also use this dressing as a jumping off place for improvising such as addition of garlic, hot pepper, etc. Ono good!

BEST ORIENTAL SALAD DRESSING
This is great on an Asian inspired salad - think Pei Wei, or PF Changs. I've included several substitutions which have worked for me as well, since I never seem to have ALL the ingredients on hand at the same time...

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients in blender and blend at medium speed 3-4 seconds until celery is finely grated.
- This can be served immediately, but the flavors will blend better if refrigerated about an hour before serving.
- The fewer substitutions you have to make, the better, of course, but I've used each of these at one time or other, and still been happy with the results. Send me any other substitutions you've tried!

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your dressing. Look for fresh herbs, vegetables, and citrus fruits.
- Adjust the flavor to your liking: The recipes provided are a starting point, but feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste preferences. For example, if you like a sweeter dressing, add more honey or maple syrup. If you prefer a tangier dressing, add more vinegar or lemon juice.
- Use a good quality oil: The type of oil you use will also affect the flavor of your dressing. Olive oil is a popular choice for oriental dressings, but you can also use avocado oil, sesame oil, or grapeseed oil.
- Emulsify the dressing: To make sure your dressing is smooth and creamy, whisk it vigorously or use a blender to emulsify it. This means combining the oil and vinegar until they are completely blended together.
- Let the dressing rest: Once you have made your dressing, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
