Japanese Salad with Ginger Magic Dressing

Please excuse the messy looking salad as it was really delicious! The photo doesn't fully showcase all the ingredients - greens, cabbage, carrots, cucumber, and edamame dressed with "ginger magic". I love the salad dressing they use at Japanese restaurants so was hoping that this one would be similar. It wasn't exactly the same (I think it usually has carrot and not much if any oil) but was still good! The ingredient list for the dressing is long and a bit fussy, but you'll have lots extra for the week.
