`Sushi-Tei' Salad Dressing

This is what made my boys eat salad for the first time in their lives...and they are still loving it.  

This tangy-sweet japanese style salad dressing, drizzle on a plate of cold crisp lettuce and freshly cut sashimi, is their must-order dish whenever we visit the Sushi-Tei Japanese Restaurant.  

After much trials and errors, I finally managed to come up with the concoction of this dressing.  Although it is a little thicker than the one serve at the restaurant, the taste is almost similar.  Try this, if you want to get your children to eat their greens!

    Tips
    • This dressing goes well with iceberg lettuce, roman lettuce, japanese cucumber and tomato.  If you want to splurge a little, add in some sashimi chunks like salmon, tuna and octopus.
