This works well as a salad dressing or dipping sauce. Please note that with the soy sauce and pickles this has a fair amount of sodium and should probably not be used by those with hypertension or congestive heart failure.

Ingredients:
6-1/2 tablespoons finely chopped sweet gherkins
1 teaspoon freshly minced garlic
1/2 cup or 1/2 bunch freshly minced cilantro
2 teaspoons finely minced onion
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon honey
6 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 2 cups water

Directions:
Mix the gherkins, garlic, cilantro, onion, mustard, soy sauce, honey, and vinegar together. Set aside. Bring the water to a boil and then add the mixed ingredients. Either mix this well or process it in a blender or food processor for a smoother dressing.
