Creamy Ginger Dressing

Ginger contains compounds called gingerols. These compounds act as a powerful anti-inflammatory. Include fresh ginger regularly in your meals to assist in lowering inflammation! This delicious salad dressing will keep you coming back for more. It can also be drizzled over steamed vegetables or cooked whole grains. Store the dressing in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. When ready to use, place the jar under warm running water to thin out the olive oil.

This has always been one of my favorite salads. The dressing I LOVE! It reminds me a bit of Benihana's salad dressing that's served at the beginning of their meals. It's a hit with family and friends.
