Time 16m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (from about a 2-inch piece)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
Juice of 1 lime
1 red chile, thinly sliced
1 cup cashew halves
2 cups grated carrots (from about 3 medium carrots)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh mint, plus whole leaves, for garnish
1/2 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil, plus whole leaves, for garnish
2 zucchini, spiraled thin
2 Persian cucumbers, halved and thinly sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, thinly sliced
1/2 small red cabbage, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, ginger, honey, sesame oil, garlic, lime juice and chile in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Lightly toast the cashews in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until golden and fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Coarsely chop and set aside.

ASIAN SALAD DRESSING

This Asian salad dressing is delicious in a salad or on stir-fried vegetables. It will last, sealed in a Mason jar, in the refrigerator for about six weeks. A tablespoon of ground ginger may be used in place of fresh. -Judy Batson, Tampa, Florida

1/4 cup rice wine vinegar

  • Mix all ingredients together and keep for no more than 2 weeks. I do not keep it in the frig, it thickens the oil if you use olive oil.

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.

ASIAN SALAD DRESSING



Asian Salad Dressing image

I've been experimenting with making my own fresh salad dressings and this is one of my favorites! It's so easy to make your own and this keeps well for at least a week in the refrigerator. This goes great with salad ingredients that include romaine, slivered cabbage, green onions, cucumbers or any of the bitter asian greens that many grocers and farmer's markets now carry.

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!

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.
