Benihana’s Salad Dressing
One of my favorite parts of going to Benihana’s (or any Hibachi restaurant for that matter) is the salad. It is always so simple, yet delicious. I was thrilled when the San Diego Union Tribune published this recipe at least 10 years ago for Benihana’s Salad Dressing. It is such a simple recipe – just dump all the ingredients in a food processor and blend it together.

There really is no reason to not make your own salad dressing. It is less expensive and healthier. You can control the amount of oil or sugar. You can control the amount of organic and non-GMO. You can control the amount of salt. You can add healthy herbs. It really is so simple and oh so good. Here are a couple of our other dressings:
