Sesame Ginger Dressing

You can whisk the following ingredients in a bowl. I used my Magic Blender, that way I did not have to mince the garlic. I left the sesame seeds out and sprinkled them on top. I also added some precooked grilled chicken and roasted slivered almonds to my salad. I substituted honey for the sugar and added a bit extra for sweetness. This is a strong, flavorful dressing.

2 Tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 Tablespoon Asian (dark) sesame oil
1 Tablespoon grated peeled fresh ginger
4 Teaspoons white or black sesame seeds
½ teaspoon sugar
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch cayenne
