Teriyaki culture in Seattle is HUGE – and some reports even go as far as saying that Teriyaki was invented here in Seattle! While there’s debate on its specific origin, it is safe to say that Seattle was built off the backs of Teriyaki shops. I am as big of a Teriyaki fan as you can get, but even more than the teriyaki sauce, I absolutely love and adore the salad dressing that comes with the typical iceberg salad. I don’t really know if there’s an actual name for the dressing, so we’ll just call it a teriyaki salad dressing. It’s light, creamy, sweet, and perfectly balanced. I always order extra dressing with my teriyaki so I can drown my chicken in it, too, but with this recipe and how easy it is to make, I always have some handy!
This recipe is inherently super straightforward, but there are a couple of different options.
The first one is the use of garlic. I prefer mine to be extra garlicky, and I like using fresh minced garlic and a lot of it. If you want a really smooth sauce, you could opt for garlic powder instead. The results will still be tasty but just a little less punchy, in my opinion.
The next option is to mix the dressing in a food processor instead of mixing it by hand. The food processor will allow you to whip more air into the dressing, giving it a lighter body, which is ideal for me.

This comment made my day, thank you Trey! I'm glad it turned out well!
Toshi's Teriyaki started in Seattle a million years ago. I am lucky to have the original guy here in Mill Creek WA. Still amazing. He doesn't cook it until you order.
Tastes exactly like the dressing you'd get at a Teriyaki restaurant! Will definitely make again.
