Thanks to all the other reviewers I put together an amazing dressing. Thank you all and Paula, thank you! This is what I did: 1/2 tsp Mongolian Fire Whack Oil, 3/4 c olive oil, 1/4 c sesame oil, 1/4 c fresh lemon juice, 1/3c fresh lime juice, 1 tbsp fresh minced garlic, 2 tbsp fresh minced ginger, 1/2 c fresh minced carrot, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 1/4 c soy sauce, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp sugar. It took a lot longer to prepare because of all the mincing of the carrots and ginger, but it was SO WORTH IT!!!!!! I have already added this recipe to my box of favorites. THANKS TO ALL!!!

Fabulous recipe! So easy and so good! Added bonus is the versatility. This can be used on different salads to accompany different meals...not just with steak. Pairs beautifully with Asian style pork ribs too. This one's a keeper! Thanks!

Easy, simple, yummy. I made it to go on a green salad aside Sushi Rolls. Then I served the rest at a small dinner party last night and was asked for the recipe. Hooray!

This is the BEST dressing I have tasted in years! Since I discovered it on this website approximately four weeks ago, I have made three batches. I eat it on my daily medley of raw vegetables, and I have recommended it to several of my culinary friends, Thank you, Paula!

This was quite nice. I just poured it over a simple salad and I liked the ginger, garlicky taste it added.

This was great. I scaled this down to make a smaller amount. I used a lot less oil than stated.

This is one of the best Ginger dressings I have ever tasted. The only 2 things I do differently are add 2 tablespoons of rice vinegar and use a grinding bowl instead of mincing the ginger. Grinding it makes it more pasty and juicy.

If I have to give this a star, it can only be 1! It was horrible!! I LOVE japanese restaurants and been to a few in my time and NONE of them serve a dressing that even "looks" like this one. What a waste of good olive oil! Hate to be so harsh, but this is NOT your typical japanese salad dressing!! I would say, if you were going to do this, that you could follow the directions for the spice mixture, but mix it with mayo instead of olive oil. I am half-tempted to try it that way myself, because it tasted fine before the olive oil was added. Just a thought for those of you who like to experiment!

This didn't taste at all like the dressing I eat at Japanese resturants. Maybe it's in the olive oil. Just seemed strong to me.

I was looking for the ginger dressing they make in sushi restaurants, and this was not it. I really tried doctoring it up even though I am by no means a experienced cook. I used sesame oil, but felt it was entirely way to oily, so I added more ginger, honey, and mustard. I then added some mayonaise to make it a little creamier. What i ended up with was a little too gingery, but closer.

This recipe is pretty good, but I made a couple of changes. I used 3 Tablespoons of honey and only 1 teaspoon of ginger, plus I added sesame oil to taste. On the salad I added chow mein noodles to use as croutons.

Oh, this was a very nice dressing! I'm not sure if it was exactly like what we have at the japanese restaurant, but it's a very good homemade version. I followed one of the reviewers and added rice wine vinegar and some granulated sugar (about 1 tbsp each). Thanks for the recipe. We'll be making this again and again.

I made this cause I wanted to try something different, and everyone loves it. My mom actually took the rest of the dressing and wouldnt give it back. The only thing I did was add more garlic, since I am a garlic freak.

This ginger dressing is very good, but it isn't what I'm looking for. I would like the one that they serve on salads in restaurants like Benihanas. I wonder if it needs sugared ginger?

Tangy, flavorful and delicous. I made a marinated grilled chicken salad with the Peanut Cilantro dip on this site and this dressing. Add some fresh mango and red pepper strips and cashews. It is now one of my favorite salads.

Did not like this dressing. I normally love Japanese style dressings, but this one was a bit too gingery for me. I added some Wasabi, but still didn't like it that much. It has a lot of potential but no follow-through.
