Made this last night - very flavorful dressing. I got this recipe from Cottage Living, 6/2006, and made it with some adjustments. It originally called for 3 tablespoons sesame oil, so if you don't worry about fat intake (and are familiar with the relatively strong taste of sesame oil), go for it. Added a cup of leftover grape tomatoes. Also substituted maple syrup for the honey and I think it worked out well.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • Salad
  • ounces baby spinach leaves6
  • medium carrot (grated or julienned, about 1 cup)1 -2

  • tablespoon sesame oil1 -3
  • tablespoon teriyaki sauce1
  • tablespoon honey or 1 tablespoon maple syrup1
  • tablespoon minced fresh ginger1 -2
  • garlic clove, minced1
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Combine all dressing ingredients in a blender, food processor or covered cruet and process or shake well until blended (I let my blender mince garlic I had sliced).
