Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing

menu for yor
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 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
