Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized (peeled and roughly chopped) Carrot
- 2 tablespoons (peeled and minced) Ginger
- 1 small (roughly chopped) Onion
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon White miso paste (optional)
Instructions
Peel the carrot and ginger, and roughly chop the carrot, ginger, and onion into small, manageable pieces.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped carrot, ginger, onion, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, vegetable oil, sugar, water, and the optional white miso paste.
Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. This may take 1–2 minutes, depending on your blender.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., add a bit more sugar for sweetness or soy sauce for saltiness).
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir the dressing well before using. Drizzle generously over your favorite salad greens and enjoy!
