Ingredients

For the dressing:

½ cup peanut or sesame oil
½ cup diced yellow onion
¼ cup rice vinegar
¼ cup water
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh ginger
2 tablespoons chopped celery
2 tablespoons soy sauce we used reduced sodium
1 ½ tablespoons ketchup
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste

For the salad:

Chopped romaine lettuce
Halved cherry tomatoes
Thinly sliced/shredded carrots
Thinly sliced red cabbage

Method

Add all of the dressing ingredients to a blender or a jar with a immersion blender. Blend until the dressing is smooth and all of the ingredients are completely incorporated. Taste and adjust salt as desired.
Assemble salad with a base of romaine topped with shredded carrots, cabbage and diced cherry tomatoes and drizzle generously with dressing. Enjoy!

Notes

This dressing is best consumed within 3-4 days. Keep it stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

If you're using regular soy sauce (not low sodium), don't add much salt before blending. You can always add more after tasting.
