Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing


When we used to live in Oregon, we loved going to Benihana. They have Benihana here in California too, but we don't live near it. The closest one is an hour away. Our favorite part of the meal was their salad dressing. Whenever we would go, we would order a side of the dressing to take home. The Ginger in the dressing just calls our name. 
Since we can't get it where we live. I set out to make it at home. Success! Fresh and full of ginger!
