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.

1/2 cup minced onion

1/2 cup peanut oil

1/3 cup rice vinegar

2 tablespoons water

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger

2 tablespoons minced celery

2 tablespoons ketchup

4 teaspoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed for

 about 30 seconds or until all of the ginger is well-pureed.

Makes 1 3/4 cups.
