Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons (grated) Fresh ginger
• 1 small (peeled and roughly chopped) Carrot
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Sesame oil
• 3 tablespoons Canola oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lemon juice
• 1 small clove (minced) Garlic
• 1 tablespoon (optional, for thinning) Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and grate the fresh ginger until you have 2 tablespoons of ginger pulp.

Step 2

Peel and roughly chop the carrot into small pieces to make it easier to blend.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, combine the grated ginger, chopped carrot, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, canola oil, honey, lemon juice, and minced garlic.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed until the carrot is completely pureed and the dressing is smooth. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of water to thin the consistency.

Step 5

Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed (e.g., add a pinch of salt or more honey for sweetness).

Step 6

Transfer the dressing to a jar or bottle and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Shake or stir the dressing before serving. Drizzle over salads, use as a marinade for proteins, or serve as a dipping sauce. Enjoy!
