Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil
- 0.333 cup canola or vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 0.5 small carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the fresh ginger, garlic, and carrot. Ensure the ginger is peeled and both the garlic and carrot are roughly chopped so they blend easily.
In a blender or food processor, combine the prepared ginger, carrot, and garlic. Blend on high speed until finely chopped.
Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, canola oil, honey, and lemon juice to the blender.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even mixing.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper. Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasonings.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Shake well before drizzling over salads or serving as a dressing for grilled meats or a dipping sauce for appetizers.
