When I dine out, one of the places I like to eat is one of the
numerous teriyaki shops in the area. Many of them serve an
interesting type of salad along with the rice and meat. The salad
itself is pretty much just shredded lettuce, carrots, cabbage, and
the like, but the dressing isn't one I'm familiar with anywhere else.
It's a white dressing, creamy yet runny, and it's actually kind of
sweet.

I rather enjoy the dressing, but needless to say, I can't just ask the
restaurant owners for the recipe-- if for no other reason than the
language barrier. I could experiment on my own-- my brother suggests
it may just be a variation on coleslaw dressing-- but I don't want to
inflict food fiascoes on myself if I don't have to. So I'd like to
ask the group: anybody know what this kind of dressing is called and
where I can get a recipe for it?
