Ginger-Peanut Salad Dressing

Here is my take on the Japanese salad dressing. It is completely different from what you get at the restaurant, but it tastes delicious! Mine is mild, since my daughter and I have sissy tongues... Feel free to add some red pepper flakes or Asian chili-garlic condiment to give it a little kick!

I made a salad tonight with baby spinach, fresh bean spouts, grated carrots, sliced red peppers, cucumber and some green onions. Topped that with some cooked chicken breast and 2 tbsp of this dressing. It was delicious, even the 2 little critics finished their plates (minus little bits of green onions that were made into a neat little pile). They didn't even know they were eating spinach, and loved it, how great is that?!! They especially liked the beanspouts and the dressing (i see a potential side dish!).
