Answer 1

You hit it on the money.   Google ginger salad dressing and you will get a million recipes. I suggest foodtv or epicurious websites

Here's one

----edit----

As the poster below me said, it could also be pickled ginger you are talking about.    I am referring to a salad (as you indicated) but pickled ginger is typically served in teaspoon sized servings.   It's intent is to cleanse the palate between courses but many love to eat the stuff plain.   It is not normally served by it self in any size even remotely  resembling salad size.

Answer 2

It definitely sounds like pickled ginger ... it's not really a sauce though.  You can buy it premade at Asian grocers or the Asian section of your supermarket (in Australia you can anyway), or if you look up Japanese recipes you're sure to find it.

Answer 3

you can buy it at an asian store.  It's often found near the produce section in major grocery stores as well.  It is pickled ginger I think.
