I made this without dijon, added some sesame oil and used far less olive oil. It was great!

This dressing was wonderful. I had to make a few changes because I didn't have honey or dijon mustard and it was great. Thank you!

It tasted very much like that which is served in Japanese restaurants. The only thing I would do differently is reduce the amount of oil. Otherwise, fantastic!

Pretty spot on compared to the dressings served at sushi places near me. I reduced the olive oil significantly (only used about 1/4 c.) and added 1T sesame oil. I also omitted the honey and added 2T rice wine vinegar. I grated the ginger and then threw everything into my blender. It was great and I'll definitely make it again.

was too oily for me but with a little tweaking I lowered the calories and upped the flavor. I added 1 T of the rice wine vinegar, 1 T water, 1 extra T lemon juice and added 1 grated carrot. Oh and most importantly I used sesame oil instead of olive.

Loved this recipe. I did add a bit more honey than was called for in the recipe. We used it on arugula as a side to seared Ahi... and it was perfect - the peppery arugula with the tangy and sweet of the dressing. It did not overwhelm the Ahi. Excellent!

We made this salad dressing to use in the Miso Salmon recipe. Since we were only making 3 servings, we adjusted accordingly and made only enough for the recipe. We substituted Sesame oil for the olive oil so it would go along better with the other recipe, and followed the recipe directly. Unfortunately we needed to use it all for the recipe and had none leftover, as it was delish!! I went out to the store to get replacement ingredients so that i can make a whole batch and use it on salad! this is the ginger dressing i have been looking for.

I was excited to try this recipe. I followed the recipe and it is nothing like I had hoped it to be. We did not care for it. I am using it as a dumpling sauce. Still in search for a Japanese ginger salad dressing.

Fabulous! I loved this salad dressing, it remminds me of my favorite japanese restaurant. I added extra ginger because I like extra spicy. I also added 1 Tbsp of rice wine vinegar as suggested by one of the reviewers.

This is a horrible recipe. The olive oil was overwhelming...needs some vinegar to cut the oil. Overall, the taste wasn't good, and didn't taste anything like Japanese dressing. I tried to save it by adding some other things to it, but did no prevail. I usually like oil-based dressings too.

Mmm I really enjoyed this recipe. I used a combo of sesame and olive oil, based on the reviews. I think next time I will make it a day in advance, which I wasn't able to do this time; the leftovers just get better and better! Also I would like to try grinding up the ginger rather than mincing it, to give it that pasty consistency like Benihana's. All in all a very impressive outcome for not a lot of effort, and makes even a simple salad something special. Thanks for a great recipe!

This dressing is awesome. I added a little Mirin (rice wine) and went back for seconds. It's my new favorite homemade dressing.

This was awful. There must be radically different dressings used in Japanese steakhouses across the country or something, because this isn't what I'm used to. Extremely oily. The ginger was overpowered by the oil and the lemon. It was inedible and wasted a lot of good olive oil.

As this recipe is written, it's slightly better then OK. Here's what I did...I combined all the ingredients in a salad dressing shaker until well blended. I sampled the mixture, and it was a little tart. So I added 1/4 C white sugar, and stirred until mixed. Still needed some more, so I added 1/8 C of sesame oil, and a splash more of soy sauce. Now it tasted better. When I added the olive oil to the shaker, it was less then a cup since I had no more room left. My wife and I both agree that this dressing, with my changes, now is a 5-star dressing and she compared it to some of the store bought sesame-ginger dressing. For those who like more of a ginger flavor, use powdered ginger. I tried this with 2 T of powder in lieu of the 3 T of fresh, and the ginger flavor was very strong. I use this (revised) dressing on my salads, I use it to marinate chicken thighs, and I use it as a dressing on sandwiches.

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but this dressing was very disappointing. It was extremely garlicy. I love garlic & it was just too much. It also had a heavy olive oil taste, which is certainly not a Japanese flavor. If you're looking for a dressing similar to Benihana's or other Japanese steakhouses, this is certainly not it, keep looking. After one serving, we did not eat any more.
