Salads are the best! There are so many salads worldwide, and I want to eat them all, but ONLY if the salad dressing is as good or better than the salad itself.
I am forever messing around with different salad dressing ideas, and this is one of my favorites. I have been told to name it "Crack Sauce," which is the best compliment.
Try this recipe and never buy store-bought again. Salad dressings are one of the best and easiest ways to start making your food.
Please give me all the texture and flavor when making me a salad. I love this great recipe so much and am constantly changing the ingredients, but the one thing that do not change is the dressing. Oh, and wonton crisps, I love wonton crisps.
The magic is in the this dressing recipe and the flavorful poached chicken. Pair the dressing with this Sesame Ginger Chicken Salad for a great way to get a variety of veggies into your day in a way that tastes oh so good.

- Tamari - I use tamari as a soy sauce substitute in most of my recipes, but feel free to use soy sauce instead. If you are paleo, coconut aminos can also be substituted
- Fresh ginger - you can use 2 teaspoons of ground ginger as a substitute for fresh ginger
- Vegan - to make this dressing vegan, substitute vegan mayonnaises for regular and maple syrup for the honey

Top tip
If you do not have a high speed blender, you can use an emersion blender, food processor or regular blender. If using a regular blender, I suggest using ginger and garlic powders, versus fresh.
