In a food processor place the onion, grated ginger, celery, carrots and garlic and puree until the vegetables are fine and grainy but not pureed.
Add the vinegar, water, ketchup, soy sauce, agave, lemon juice, salt, pepper and optional miso paste. Pulse a few times to mix the ingredients.
With the processor running, add the oil in a steady stream then stop. The mixture should be loose but be a bit grainy.
Enjoy over a simple iceberg and tomato salad.

Honey can be substituted for the agave in this dressing recipe. But we like using the agave because it is sweet with a mild flavor. Honey has a unique taste and may alter the finished flavor.
Grate the ginger before adding to the food processor to get the exact measurement of six packed tablespoons.
The miso paste cuts the acid a bit and rounds out the flavor. The dressing is good without it, but it helps smooth out the flavors.
