When my son was diagnosed with food allergies, I looked (and bought) lots of cookbooks. So many of them had really nasty recipes. Then, I found this one. I, literally, almost cried after I made the black beans recipe; I didn’t have to make two dinners every night anymore because Cybele’s stuff is so tasty that even my husband agreed to eat the allergy-free food (she even has a blog that has great recipes, too). I made this salad dressing from her book last week–it’s good on salads or with steamed vegetables over wheat or rice noodles.

Thanks for the recipe. I will for sure try it. It sounds like the dressing that they put on their salad at Sakura Sushi. Last week I was craving it and I went there just for their salad. I have even tried to get them to sell it to me in a seperate bottle but they won’t.
I’ve had the same problem at sushi resturants! I think this recipe is a good version of that dressing.
