Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
- 1 small (peeled and roughly chopped) Carrot
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons Canola oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
- 1 small clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for thinning) Water
Instructions
Peel and grate the fresh ginger until you have 2 tablespoons of ginger pulp.
Peel and roughly chop the carrot into small pieces to make it easier to blend.
In a blender or food processor, combine the grated ginger, chopped carrot, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, canola oil, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic.
Blend the mixture on high speed until the carrot is completely pureed and the dressing is smooth. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin the consistency.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., add a pinch of salt or more honey for sweetness).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade for proteins, or serve as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
