Step 1

Begin the recipe by mincing the 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 teaspoon garlic, 2 tablespoons celery, and the 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger.

Step 2

*You may also roughly chop all of these ingredients into small pieces and add them to a blender instead to process for 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3

Next, to the blender, add the 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/3 cup rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons ketchup, 4 teaspoons soy sauce, 2 teaspoons granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper.

Step 4

Place the top on the blender and blend the ingredients at high speed for about 30 seconds or until the mixture is pureed.

Step 5

Serve on top of a simple salad and store any leftovers in the refrigerator to use later. Enjoy!
