Ingredients

1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup white vinegar ((adjust to taste for sharpness))
1/4 cup olive oil ((Note 1))
1 tbsp sugar ((any type) or 1 1/2 tbsp honey)
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp olive oil ((Note 1))
1 tsp sugar ((any type) or 1 1/2 tsp honey)

Steps:

Place ingredients in a jar and shake well until sugar is dissolved. Adjust saltiness with salt and sweetness with sugar to taste.
Keep for up to 3 weeks, in the fridge (to be safe). Bring to room temp and shake well before use.
Single serving batch is enough for 3 - 4 cups of shredded cabbage / leafy greens i.e. a side salad for 4 people.
Big batch - my rule of thumb for how much dressing to use is generally 1 tbsp of dressing per 1 packed cup of shredded vegetables and 2 tsp per handful of leafy greens.

BEST ORIENTAL SALAD DRESSING

This is great on an Asian inspired salad - think Pei Wei, or PF Changs. I've included several substitutions which have worked for me as well, since I never seem to have ALL the ingredients on hand at the same time...

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/2 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar (whatever you have) or 2 tablespoons white vinegar (whatever you have)
1 tablespoon tomato paste or 1 1/2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced or 1/2 teaspoon dry ginger powder
1/2 cup celery, sliced or 1 teaspoon celery salt
1/4 cup green onion, chopped (white onion will work, too)

Steps:

Combine all ingredients in blender and blend at medium speed 3-4 seconds until celery is finely grated.
This can be served immediately, but the flavors will blend better if refrigerated about an hour before serving.
The fewer substitutions you have to make, the better, of course, but I've used each of these at one time or other, and still been happy with the results. Send me any other substitutions you've tried!

Tips:

Choose fresh ingredients: This salad dressing is all about the flavors of the individual ingredients, so make sure to use the freshest vegetables and herbs you can find.
Don't skimp on the oil: Good quality olive oil is essential for this dressing. It adds a rich, fruity flavor that really brings the other ingredients together.
Use a variety of vinegars: This recipe calls for both rice vinegar and white wine vinegar, but you can experiment with different vinegars to find a flavor combination you like. Sherry vinegar, balsamic vinegar, and apple cider vinegar are all good options.
Add some sweetness: A little bit of honey or sugar helps to balance out the acidity of the vinegar. You can also use a fruit-based sweetener, such as agave nectar or maple syrup.
Season to taste: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or sweetener, depending on your personal preferences.

Conclusion:

This oriental salad dressing is a versatile and flavorful dressing that can be used on a variety of salads. It's light and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. Whether you're making a simple green salad or a more elaborate Asian-inspired salad, this dressing is sure to please.
