I don't know if this is the particular dressing you have had, but a long
defunct restaurant in New Brunswick NJ called Manna Fest Station served
this dressing on a cabbage, raisin, and raw cashew salad: (sorry, I don't
have exact measurments)

Take a few Umboshi (Japanese salted plums), pit them (or it depit?)
stick them in a blender or food processor along with a scallion or two
and some oil (start with .5 cups, add more to taste), peanut oil or
a bland oil is okay, olive oil is a waste of money in this recipe.
Add some lemon juice (from .5 to 1 lemon) and blend well.  Salt to taste
with soy sauce or tamari.  If you try this let us know how it turns out.

Variations would be to add a bit of sesame oil or to use miso
instead of soy.
