Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (peeled and roughly chopped) Carrot
- 1 tablespoon (peeled and finely chopped) Fresh Ginger
- 2 tablespoons White Miso Paste
- 3 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy Sauce
- 2 teaspoons Sesame Oil
- 0.25 cup Neutral Oil (e.g., vegetable or grapeseed)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons (adjust for desired consistency) Water
Instructions
Peel and roughly chop the carrots, then finely chop the fresh ginger.
In a blender or food processor, combine the chopped carrots, ginger, and white miso paste.
Add the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, neutral oil, and honey to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed.
Gradually add water, a tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary—add a small pinch of salt or a touch more honey for sweetness if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl or jar. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Use as a dressing for green salads, drizzled over roasted vegetables, or as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables and sushi rolls.
