Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing

I looooove this salad dressing. Works great as a dip for fresh veggies too. I got this recipe from: Top Secret Recipes Benihana Ginger Salad Dressing

1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons tomato paste or ketchup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons white sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoons minced fresh garlic
1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoons ground black pepper

Combine everything in a blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds or until all of the ingredients are well-puréed.

The recipe called for ketchup, I usually use tomato paste. They have tubes of tomato paste at the grocery store. I also use whatever oil and vinegar I have handy if I don't have peanut oil and rice wine vinegar. If it turns out too strong for you (other vinegars may be stronger than rice wine vinegar), just add a little bit of water.

Makes 1 3/4 cup.
