Like everyone else said "we LOVED this dressing". I followed the instructions to the letter and the wasabi is a little strong but we love wasabi so we were happy. Served this over a green salad with seared tuna. Thank you for posting. Made for 213 Zaar Cookbook Tag. -
This is DELICIOUS!!! I doubled the recipe as well as added some grated ginger to turn it into a wasabi ginger dressing. I'm serving this tossed with spring greens with seared ahi tuna on top. YUMMY! -
This was really nice and I don't even like wasabi! I know, I know... why did I make it if I don't like it? I'm in love with the salad dressing at my favorite sushi place and am trying to find something similar. I know they use wasabi, so this one looked close. And it IS! I cut the wasabi it half and would cut it once again by half for our tastes, but those who love the stuff are going to *love* this recipe. I'll definitely use it again with the slight modification. Thank you for posting, Vino Girl. :) -
I made this for a salad for my hubby today at lunch and it was delicious. The salad was simple, with romaine lettuce, spinach, cucumber, tomato and plain shrimp. We had left over wasabi from some take out sushi we had yesterday so I thought I would try to do something with it. This dressing tastes identical to the dressing used at Fridays TGIF restaurants Oriental Chicken salad. As far as portions go, this made the perfect amount if you toss the salad with it in a large bowl with tongs, and then divide it into the individual portions. Thanks for the great recipe! -
We love wasabi too...and you can REALLY taste it here! I usually have to double, triple or quadruple the amount in recipes but this has a strong wasabi flavor as is! Our only complaint was there wasn't enough. This is more like one serving...if you love wasabi!

My husband and I married straight out of college in July of 1992. I work as the Assistant Manager at a wine shop which allows me to drink on the job! (OK, not that much, but it's still a fun job...) Besides helping customers choose wine they will like (and also help with food and wine pairings for their menus), I also get to help with the catering end of the business, so I get to spend a fair amount of time in the kitchen making fun appetizers and beautiful food displays. I also work part-time at the fromagerie next door. So yeah - that means I eat on the job, too. :^D
We live on several peaceful wooded acres on a cute little river in rural NE Wisconsin, with a cranky old-lady Burmese and whatever stray outdoor cats that have decided to adopt us on any given day. The cute puppy in the picture is Jake, our Elhew-bred English Pointer that we brought home on Easter weekend 2007. I've also got 2 painted turtles named Dennis and Fuzz, and a bunch of fish (koi and goldfish, along with the guppies & swordtails in the turtle tank).
I USUALLY eat and cook healthy, but I rarely pass up dessert, either. I do not eat red meat, and try to limit other animal products, too. I love to bake, although I seem to collect a lot of scone and biscotti recipes which I NEVER get around to making. I bake and eat A LOT of cookies and muffins... I almost always reduce the sugar by 1/4 and use whole wheat pastry flour for at least part of the flour. Those two changes do so much to make recipes healthier without compromising taste. I try to reduce fat whenever I can, too, but while I want to eat healthy, I still want to ENJOY what I eat!!!
I seem to give a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews here - I seem to have a pretty good sense of what I like by looking at a recipe before I try it. Thank you to anyone that tries my recipes in return, or photographs them.
