Rebar's Honey-Ginger Salad Dressing

Rebar is this amazing vegetarian restaurant that serves fresh and healthy food, so when they put out a cookbook I was quick to purchase a copy and try making my favourite salad dressing in the whole wide world, honey ginger.  Unfortunately, after having given a few of the recipes a try it became obvious they hadn't included the full ingredient list and things just didn't come out tasting the same as it did in the restaurant.  Lucky for us (my Mom and myself), we had a connection at the restaurant who scored us the REAL deal, so here it is!


Ingredients
  • 2 oz peeled ginger, roughly chopped
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons of honey
  • 1 tablespoon Tamari Sauce (wheat free soya sauce)
  • 3/4 tablespoon smooth dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves




Process slowly, adding in 3/4 cup of canola oil plus 1/4 cup of olive oil to emulsify.

Caution this will make about 1 L of dressing, but it tends to last about a month in the fridge. I like to use an empty bottle of olive oil to store.

Serve over a big green salad with carrots, beets, cucumber, dried cranberries, nuts, garbanzo beans and feta!! Yummy!! Add in some grilled chicken or fish and makes for a full great meal!
