2t soy sauce
2t grated fresh ginger
2 cloves of garlic smashed with 1/2t salt
1c. vegetable oil

Steps:

  • You can assemble the salad about an hour ahead of dinner. You can make the dressing well in advance to let the flavors mingle. Wisk together all ingredients except oil, then add in oil slowly while whisking. It will emulsify nicely. The dressing will keep for several days, and you can marinate chicken in any leftovers.
