Description
A carrot ginger salad dressing is one you walk away craving when you leave your favorite Japanese restaurant. With our carrot ginger dressing recipe, we tried to re-create the same flavor profile. If you like a strong assertive salad dressing that will make any salad pop this is exactly the recipe you are looking for.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2/3 cup white miso paste - See Note 1 for red miso
- 1/4 freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 medium-size lemons)
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 1/2 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed or store-bought
- 3" peeled fresh ginger, chopped
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave
- 3 large carrots, chopped
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth - See Note 2
Notes
- If you are using red miso paste the carrot ginger dressing will have a stronger flavor
- A high-speed blender or smoothie maker works best for this recipe. If you just have a regular blender cut the ginger and carrots into smaller pieces so they can get easily pureed.
- When you taste the carrot ginger salad dressing you will notice it is pretty strong. It doesn't feel as strong when eaten with a salad.
