Japanese Restaurant-style Salad Dressing

I love the dressing they put on salads at Japanese restaurants. I searched for some recipes and came up with one that I modified and it turned out spectacularly well! Instead of peanut oil, I used canola oil and peanut butter and added more ginger. Oh my gosh, this is so delicious I could practically eat it like soup! I can't wait to put it on my salad greens tonight. I made a small batch that will last me for the week. Double the recipe if you wish to make more.
