Carrot Ginger Salad Dressing

"It takes four men to dress a salad: a wise man for the salt, a madman for the pepper, 

a miser for the vinegar, and a spendthrift for the oil."

Have you eve been to a Japanese Steakhouse and had their salad to start? Normally I would not rave about a simple salad but there is something about the dressing that they have that I have never been able to recreate at home. I finally found a recipe that was close and I tweaked it to fit my taste. I forgot to take pictures of it but will make sure to add them the next time I make it. Also this is a really easy recipe, all you do is dump it in the blender.

6 fully cooked reduced fat chicken sausages

6 whole wheat buns
