Benihana Salad Dressing

Another much-appreciated recipe from the Hutchison cookbook. I haven’t been able to make this yet due to the seeming impossibility of finding soybean oil, but I’m betting The Pet Store will be just the place to score it. Now if someone could just find me their mustard and ginger sauce recipes, my 12-year-old Benihana dreams would be realized.

1/2 cup diced celery 1/2 cup soybean oil 4 tbsp chopped onion 4 tbsp white vinegar 2 tbsp tomato paste 3 tsp soy sauce 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp powdered ginger

1. Combine all ingredients.

2. Cover and refrigerate. This recipe is best made 2 days in advance.
