Description

This Japanese-inspired carrot ginger dressing is made with a vibrant mix of flavors and used as a salad dressing, marinade, dipping sauce and more.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large carrots (8 ounces), roughly-chopped
  • 1/3 cup avocado oilย (or any mild-flavored oil)
  • 1/4 cupย rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons finely-chopped fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoonย white miso
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • fine sea salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Blend. Add all ingredients to a blender and pulse until completely smooth. If you would like a thinner dressing, blend in 1/4 of water until smooth.
  2. Season. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. (I add about 1/4 teaspoon of each, but the saltiness will also depend on your miso.)
  3. Serve. Serve immediately or store in a sealed container for up toย 1 week.

    I’ve just made this, and it is amazing! Creamy, luscious, rich and decadent. Sooo tasty!

    Is this dressing supposed to be creamy or more like a vinaigrette? I can’t tell from the picture and when I made it the other week it was runny and gritty, even after putting it through the food processor for awhile.
