• 0.5 small carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the fresh ginger, garlic, and carrot. Ensure the ginger is peeled and both the garlic and carrot are roughly chopped so they blend easily.

In a blender or food processor, combine the prepared ginger, carrot, and garlic. Blend on high speed until finely chopped.

Step 3

Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, canola oil, honey, and lemon juice to the blender.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes smooth and creamy. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure even mixing.

Step 5

Season the dressing with salt and black pepper. Blend again briefly to incorporate the seasonings.

Step 6

Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid and store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Step 8

Shake well before drizzling over salads or serving as a dressing for grilled meats or a dipping sauce for appetizers.
