ASIAN VINAIGRETTE SALAD DRESSING



Asian Vinaigrette Salad Dressing image

This is simple to throw together, light and tangy. I often vary the ingredients, using honey or orange juice instead of sugar, adding wasabi powder -- whatever I'm in the mood for. The joy of cooking is being creative! If you wish to substitute the oil, use a bland vegetable oil, extra virgin olive oil or "light" olive oil. Regular olive oil is too strong for this recipe.

FAT FREE ASIAN SALAD DRESSING



Fat Free Asian Salad Dressing image

A tangy dressing that you only need to use a tiny bit of because it's richly flavored. It's fat free and wonderful! If you must, then you can drizzle a little olive oil into your salad after tossing it with this dressing but, honestly, it doesn't need it to make a delicious salad! Also a yummy dressing for sauteed tofu and vegetables. Enjoy!

Provided by SaraFish

Categories     Salad Dressings

Time 5m

Yield 1/2 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 garlic cloves
1 piece fresh ginger (about the size of a garlic clove)
3 ounces soy sauce
1 1/2 ounces red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
3 drops sesame oil
1/2 ounce water

Steps:

  • There are 2 options for preparing this dressing.
  • You can either whir ingredients in blender, which makes it a little frothy- which I like.
  • Or, you can finely mince the garlic and ginger and whip the rest of the ingredients together with a wire whisk.
  • Either way, it's fabulous!
  • You can easily double this recipe- just keep the 2 to 1 ratio for the garlic and ginger and the soy sauce and vinegar.
