Japanese Style Ginger Lime Dressing

You know the ginger dressing that you get at sushi restaurants? Well, this is that dressing vegan-ified.  It isn't as creamy as what you often find - obviously - but packs all the same punch! I serve it over Bibb or Butter lettuce with some julienned carrots, radishes, cherry tomato halves, thinly sliced red onion, and maybe even raw corn.  As always, season to taste before serving and adjust. 

¼ cup fresh lime juice

1 TBSP soy sauce

1 TSBP rice vinegar

1 TBSP finely diced shallot

1 TBSP grated fresh ginger

2-3 teaspoons sugar

2 TBSP peanut oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Whisk ingredients together in a small bowl.  Season with salt and pepper to taste, and let it stand for at least 10 minutes before serving!
