                    You find this type of salad dressing in many Japanese restaurants in the U.S. I used to see people requesting something similar often, so I created this around mid to late 90's. If this dressing is too tart for your taste (it will water down with salad greens) add 1-2 T water to the dressing. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                1/4 cup oil  |  
                                                2 tablespoons rice vinegar  |  
                                                1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice  |  
                                                1 tablespoon celery, chopped roughly  |  
                                                1 tablespoon gingerroot, chopped roughly  |  
                                                1/4 cup onion, chopped roughly  |  
                                                1 tablespoon soy sauce  |  
                                                1 1/2-2 teaspoons tomato paste  |  
                                                1 1/2-2 teaspoons sugar  |  
                                                1/2 teaspoon salt  |  
                                                pepper, to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. In a blender or food proessor, blend for 30 seconds. 2. If this dressing is too tart for your taste (it will water down with salad greens) add 1-2 T water to the dressing.                              |
