Description

This famous Benihana ginger salad dressing may be made at home and is served at Benihana and other Japanese steakhouses. It’s a light, creamy, and refreshing salad dressing with a powerful ginger flavor!


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup peanut oil
  • ½ cup onion (chopped)
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 tablespoon ginger (chopped fresh ginger)
  • 2 tablespoon celery (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • each, salt & pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, about 45 seconds to 1 minute.
  2. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving and keep stored in an airtight container.

Notes

*The flavors blend better after they’ve been refrigerated, and the dressing tastes best the second and third days after it’s been made.

**Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

*The original recipe called for tomato paste, but with such a small amount, it’s much quicker to use ketchup than of opening a can of tomato paste. Although the difference is insignificant, this serves as formal documentation of my changes to the original Benihana recipe.
