I have tried commercial ginger dressings- and I dislike them intensely.

And ginger dressing is so good when you get it at a Japanese shop- it must be freshly made.  Or at least that is my opinion.

I don’t know where I got this recipe or I would give credit for it.  But I’ve been making this for at least 20 years and I really can’t remember if this even is the original recipe or if I’ve changed it up over the years.

Try it- trust me- you will love it.  It keeps in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks- I guess- mine never lasts more than 2 weeks at the most.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup ginger root- peeled and sliced

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped celery

1/4 cup water

3 TBS vinegar

3 TBS vegetable oil

2 TBS lemon zest

2 TBS tomato puree

1/2 tsp sugar

salt and pepper to taste

Combine in food processor for 3 minutes. 

This is a pungent dressing which you will use sparingly.

Enjoy!

I tried to do an update on yesterday’s post- but I couldn’t put up the following picture of the cherry salsa.  It looks so good I couldn’t resist adding it to this post- just so you could see the end result!
