Sesame Ginger Dressing
Like those tasty dressings at expensive Japanese restaurants.
1 cup minced onion
1 cup peanut oil
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2/3 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup chamomile tea, green tea or water
1/4 cup minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup minced celery
1/4 cup ketchup OR 2 T dried tomatoes in oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce I use lower sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
OPTIONAL, 2-3 tablespoons sesame seeds
OPTIONAL, few drops chili oil
Combine all ingredients in a food processor (will be 2 batches in a blender). You know to adjust the lemon, sweet and salt a little depending on your salad, right? Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds or until all the chunks are well-pureed. Refrigerate, shake before using. Makes about 1 quart.
