Ginger Sesame Dressing

As promised, this is the dressing I used to make my Chinese Chicken Salad.  It is tasty, sweet, and with a hint of heat.  Best dressing for Chinese chicken salad I have tried making from scratch so far.  Ginger sesame dressing is really tasty and easy to make.

Why are all of my dressing recipes shown in a glass jar?  This is the best way I have found to transport my dressings to work.  These have a rubber seal that keeps everything in, you can shake it to remix everything, and it is reusable.  For a while, I was using empty water bottles.  However, I got funny looks from people, as if my water went so bad that it turned a different color?  In a glass jar, nobody questions it.
