We don’t go out to eat often, but when we do, I love Japanese food because it is relatively easy to find wheat-free dishes, and the salads and stir fry dishes are wonderful! There is even a local restaurant that cooks in coconut oil!
One of my favorite things at our local Japanese restaurant is their ginger salad dressing (which probably has questionable ingredients, but I’ve avoided asking…). Either way, my bank account and my health would both have problems if I headed to the restaurant every time I wanted some ginger-dressing infused salad so I’ve been experimenting with an at-home version with nourishing ingredients and I am really happy with the final result.
Japanese Restaurant Style Ginger Dressing Recipe
I now keep a bottle of this pre-made Asian vinaigrette in the fridge for lunch time (or breakfast time… I’m a little obsessed) salads.
This dressing goes great with my Asian Color Burst Salad, but is also great drizzled on stir fry, burgers, chicken, or even fish…
