Benihana Ginger
Salad Dressing
As far as salad dressings go, this is one of the most requested,
and tasty. At the Benihana chain of hibachi grill restaurants, you are served a
side salad before your meal that is doused with this tangy, slightly sweet,
fresh ginger dressing. This Top Secret Recipes version of that dressing is a
real cinch to make, once you've got the ingredients. Just dump everything into
a blender, whiz it, and you're set. Although this recipe is inspired by the
many variations of the clone recipe that are floating around (and that I have
received by e-mail), you should know that this is an original
never-before-published creation that comes closer to the original product than
any other version I have seen. See what you think.
