- See Carrot-Ginger-Mint Salad recipe - a wonderful recipe using this dressing & marinade. Layer with Grilled Chicken or "Pressed" Tofu for a light and lovely main course.
* with concerns about gmo’s and processing of oils, use a vegetable oil which has not been chemically treated, this is called “expeller pressed”.
