This is a recipe I founds years ago in the sunday paper. It was described as "used in stakhouses like Benihana of Tokyo." I usually make a double batch since we go through it so fast. Enjoy!

Steakhouse Salad Dressing

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup salad oil (any kind)
1/4 cup either cider or rice vinegar
3/4 teaspoon tomato paste
1/3 medium onion
1/4 fresh lemon - just juice and pulp, no skin
1/4 fresh orange - just juice and pulp, no skin
Fresh ginger, about a 1-inch piece or less, depending on taste

In blender, combine all ingredients except ginger. Blend until liquefied. Grate ginger to taste and stir into dressing. You can prepare this recipe a day in advance, if you prefer. The dressing thickens as time goes on. If fresh ginger is not available, fresh minced ginger in a jar works fine, also. 1-1 1/2 teaspoon seems to take the place of fresh ginger.
