FAT FREE ASIAN SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• There are 2 options for preparing this dressing.
• You can either whir ingredients in blender, which makes it a little frothy- which I like.
• Or, you can finely mince the garlic and ginger and whip the rest of the ingredients together with a wire whisk.
• Either way, it's fabulous!
• You can easily double this recipe- just keep the 2 to 1 ratio for the garlic and ginger and the soy sauce and vinegar.
