My twist on the ubiquitous, mildly mysterious, always delicious Japanese restaurant orange salad dressing. :)

Vegan vegetarian vegetable karaage

This is very easy and quick recipe. Adjust the sweetness and saltness of the sesame dressing. We can enjoy this both while they are hot and after getting them cool.

I am big on salads and maybe even bigger on homemade dressings. And it's every bit as much about flavor as health. Well, maybe slightly more...There's something about a homemade dressing made with a few thoughtfully combined ingredients, and without the texture and flavor muck that results from a certain industrial cocktail of gums and stabilizers, that allows the ingredients of your salad to sing. And it really will get you looking forward to eating raw veg, which is so good for your bod.(I do sometimes use a teeny, tiny bit of xanthan gum to emulsify, but not enough to affect the experience of the dressing. A topic for another post, however...)This Creamy Honey Mustard Dressing is a favorite in our house, and even my mustard hating Firstborn likes it. :)

I made this recipe using a photo in an American magazine as reference. Strawberry dressing is sold in cans, but every brand I've tried has too much balsamic vinegar for my taste, killing the flavor of the strawberries. So I made a dressing with the proportions I like. It's an easy yet really delicious dressing that I'm very proud of.Choose a flat pasta-type like linguine or fettuccine for the noodle basket. Drain the boiled pasta very well, and then stick onto the surface of a bowl. Don't rinse the pasta or it will not stick. Don't forget to brush the surface of the bowl with oil. If you want the dressing to be richer, add olive oil. I recommend young baby spinach leaves. For 2 servings. Recipe by Yukirinrin

This is a kid favorite salad in our house as well as a crowd pleaser for picnics, BBQs, and potlucks for the tasty mashup of fruit, veg, and sweet savory tangy dressing.I'm making it for Thanksgiving this year to make sure my teenaged son gets plenty of veg with that side of bacon he asked for . ;)Here in California, we get strawberries pretty much year round, though they tend to be better in Spring. If it's not strawberry season where you live, a mildly tart apple or firm pear cut into small chunks are both great substitutes.

I will introduce a dressing containing apple the symbol of Toyohira ward. This dressing has a gentle sweetness of an apple. Please use this dressing for different kinds of vegetables!Toyohira Health Center, City of Sapporo Volunteer Translators: Students in the Translation & Interpretation Seminar, Sapporo University

This is one of the first dishes i learned how to make and is still my favorite. Its easy to make and a total crowd pleaser for family dinners.

This is my everyday dressing.Carrot Dressing.Soy Sauce and Onion Dressing.I recommend using a jam jar or small jar.If you shake the jar up and down, it will combine quickly.Add some mustard to taste.If you don't use the onion, it will make a French dressing.It's also delicious if you add a teaspoon or two of soy sauce.

This is a variation of a recipe a friend of mine taught me.Slice the onion thinly so that it works well as part of the dressing.You can use tataki (bashed) cucumber instead of jabara cucumber.Sweet onions have lots of moisture, so be a bit generous with the salt. For 2 servings. Recipe by nekoland

You can eat a lot of vegetables with this dressing. It's my family's favorite.The key to making a delicious salad is to squeeze the excess water out from the vegetable completely. Please mix in the dressing right before eating. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

Cucumber has a lot of moisture, so adding boiled egg helps to release water. It leaves the flavor of egg, at the same time, giving body to the taste and a plain flavor.
