Asian-style Ginger Vinaigrette

I'm making this for our dressing tonight. I don't know if my hubby will like it, but I'm sure I'll love it :)

Ingredients:
* Tamari
* Ginger
* Fish Sauce
* Brown Rice Vinegar
* Some Sesame Seeds to Garnish
* Flax Seed Oil

Instructions:

1. Peel and mince your ginger. You?ll need a piece that?s about an inch long or so.
2. Mix all your ingredients up and shake it furiously. You?ll need about 1/3 cup flax seed oil, about 1 Tablespoon Tamari, 1 Teaspoon Fish Sauce and 2 Tablespoons Vinegar plus the minced ginger.
3. Drizzle the dressing over mixed greens and garnish with sesame seeds.
