Looking for a Low Calorie Recipe for Asian Salad Dressing?

Question

I'm looking for a good receipe for Sesame Ginger Salad Dressing - I've tried several bottled varieties, and it can't match up to the tasty dressing they have at our company cafeteria. But...being on Weight Watchers...the 100+ calories are just too much.

Anyone?

Answer 2

As a European I really dislike the heavy american dressings, which I believe a trying to hide the taste of the salad itself (and also are very unhealthy). Vinaigrette is very good for you and should be used with all salads.
