If you’re looking for a way to add some flavor and freshness to your salad, Asian-style dressings might be just what you need. These dressings offer a unique blend of sweet, savory, and spicy flavors that can make even the most boring salads taste exciting. Being Vegetarians we seldom go to this restaurant. But at one time, they had Thai fusion going on and that is when we first visited this place. They served this tiny salad with an awesome dressing with our dinner and right then and there I fell in love with it. I ate there a couple of times more and sort of got a hang of what was in the dressing and this is my tale on that dressing which is pretty close to what I ate there. Unlike traditional salad dressings, Asian-style dressings are often light and refreshing, making them perfect for summer salads or for those who want to avoid heavy, creamy dressings. This recipe is completely customizable to your liking. For example, if you prefer your dressing to be more savory than sweet, you can adjust the amount of soy sauce or rice vinegar in the recipe. Similarly, if you like your dressings to be spicier, you can add more chili flakes or even a splash of hot sauce. The possibilities are endless, and experimenting with different flavor combinations is all part of the fun. Preparation Time – 5 minsCooking time – noneDifficulty level – easy
