Carrot, Miso, and Ginger Salad Dressing

To achieve a uniform consistency, grate the carrot on the small holes of a box grater before pureeing in the food processor. We like to serve the colorful dressing in its own dish and let each person spoon some over a salad of butter lettuce, sunflower sprouts, sliced radishes, and edamame.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 1/2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger (1 1/2-inch piece)
1 large carrot, finely grated
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons white miso
3 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil
1 tablespoon water, if needed

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the ginger and carrot to a coarse paste. Add the vinegar and miso, and pulse to combine.

    Step 2

    With the machine running, slowly add the oil in a thin, steady stream through the feed tube until the mixture is emulsified. Add water if the dressing is too thick. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
