Japanese Ginger Salad Dressing

Everybody I know loves the salad dressing served on those crunchy salads served at all the sushi and Japanese steakhouse restaurants. My friend Alan recently requested such a recipe from me. Luckily I have a very good version of it in my collection of recipes. It is light and yummy and the best one I have had. So here you go....

1 tbls chopped celery

1 tbls soy sauce

1 tsp tomato paste

1 tsp sugar

Combine all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
