Ginger Dressing

I was told, by the ever-reliable internet, that this is Benihana’s recipe, but I don’t actually know about that.  It takes a lot of ingredients, but it’s pretty easy to make if you have everything on hand.

• 1/2 c. finely minced onion
• 1/2 c. peanut oil
• 1/3 c. rice vinegar
• 2 Tbs water
• 2 Tbs minced fresh ginger
• 2 Tbs minced celery
• 2 Tbs ketchup
• 4 tsp soy sauce
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp minced garlic
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper

Combine all ingredients in blender; blend on high for ~30 seconds, until all ginger is well-puréed.

Makes 1.75 cups.
