Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrot
- 1 tablespoon (peeled and minced) Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (freshly ground) Black pepper
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the carrots into small pieces for easier blending.
Peel and mince the fresh ginger.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped carrots, minced ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, olive oil, lime juice, honey, and water.
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the dressing is too thick, add a bit more water, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste the dressing and add salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Blend briefly to incorporate.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve over salads, grain bowls, or as a dipping sauce. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to one week.
