I have been looking for this elusive "Japanese restaurant" salad dressing for the longest time. It seems easy enough to recreate, but I've just never nailed it. I found it in an unlikely place. I was flipping through an article in Eating Well magazine about working more spinach into your diet and there it was. I've doubled up the recipe ratios because you will definitely want more than one salad's worth.Japanese Ginger Dressing
