Teriyaki Salad Dressing
Homemade salad dressings are very easy to make. I think you will agree when you make this Teriyaki Salad Dressing.
Have you ever read the list of ingredients on a store-bought dressing? If not, go do so. There is a long list of hard to pronounce ingredients! I think I am better off without putting those into my body.
Make sure that you actually grate the onion, using whatever grater you have in your kitchen. Chopped onion, even finely chopped just will not give the correct taste.
This dressing is a little tangy and a little sweet. Perfect in my mind! Toss with your favorite green salad and you will be good to go!
What is the difference between soy sauce and teriyaki sauce?
Teriyaki sauce is much sweeter and is thicker than soy sauce. It typically includes soy sauce, water, a sweetener like sugar or honey, garlic, corn starch (to thicken) and ginger. It can also include sesame seeds and sesame oil. It’s more or less a basic Asian seasoning/marinade.
Yes, you can certainly make your own Teriyaki sauce. I have never made it but it looks very easy. Maybe next time I made this dressing I will make my own. Homemade Teriyaki Sauce – Here is an easy to make sauce from the blog Crunchy Creamy Sweet.
When making this Teriyaki Salad Dressing be sure to use Teriyaki sauce – NOT soy sauce!
