ISO: Creamy Asian Dressing

[candelbc]

I had a meal at a restaurant recently (Not sure if it's local or not), and I had a great salad with a Cream Styled Asian Dressing.

I was wondering if anyone has seen this commercially at the Grocery store, or have made something similar.

It was very light, but definitely had a taste of ginger. It's been too long, and I had too much to drink to actually determine what it was made of..

Any ideas?

ginger peanut dressing? there are several good asian ginger peanut sauces on the market. Some are quite spicy.

Well, I am not sure, but I will say that the Dressing was "Ranch" in color..

it may have been a version of Riata?
there is no real hard and fast rule in its composition, although the creamy base is a live Yogurt, a bit like Greek yogurt.

Try this dressing. I got it off the Net a few months ago and it is lovely. I do replace the ground ginger with grated fresh however, and make it up to 2 teaspoons.

3 Med Garlic Cloves
6Tbsps Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
1 tsp Ground Ginger
3/4 tsp Hot Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tbsps Mayo
1/4 Cup Vegetable oil

Mis first 7 ingredients in a glass bowl or jug. Whisk in mayo until smooth then whisk in oil slowly, until dressing emulsifies.
Store in a glass jar, with lid, in refrigerator.

Rikki (I think that's the name)has a creamy Asian ceasar that tastes exactly like the dressing they use at the Japanese sushi house. I get mine from Costco and LOVE it!

Is it possible that the dressing had miso in it?
