1 head of iceberg lettuce
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1/4 head of red cabbage, thinly sliced (optional)
Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Dressing
4-5 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3-4 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup coarsely chopped, fresh carrots
3 tablespoons fresh ginger, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped shallot (optional)

Steps:

1) Combine the lettuce, sliced cucumber, cabbage, and cherry tomatoes in a salad bowl. 2) Blend all the dressing ingredients in a food processor until the carrot and ginger are pureed. Put the finished dressing in a small serving bowl with a serving spoon. 3) Serve the salad in individual-size bowls and pass the dressing. The grated carrot and ginger will cling to the top of the lettuce, and the remainder will seep to the bottom, so it's not advisable to use flat plates.
